that's cool. This kiosk mode could replace the need for third party locking software on PC's which are designed for public internet access, etc. Meaning Windows 8 could become a cheaper option for companies looking to do that sort of thing or parents trying to let their kids use the computer without them causing a nuclear meltdown of personal files lol
