Richard,
Thanks for the answer. However, I don´t think that´s the reason. I don´t
think that nowadays the same computer is used by different people,
especially not in the corporate environment. The only place where that
happens is in computer courses where many different students use the
same system. But there the solution is to work in a virtual environment
where each student has his own virtual system. That is much safer and
very much less chance to corrupt the whole system or mess with the work
of others. I have no clue what´s the reason. Maybe someone from
development has the answer.
