That only applies in this situation if the requestor is also the owner of the building, as in the OP it is assumed the requestor owns the computer.

(On a multi-user system it is unlikely running Windows.)

O.o Why is your assumption that a multi user system isn’t running windows?

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 1 points 1 week ago

Few run Windows in multi-user anymore. Most servers are doing Linux.

I am assuming simultaneous, not one at a time multi-user. Which could happen.

If you've ever worked at a company, you probably were running Windows while simultaneously not owning your computer.

Is that even typical? At work we have like one Windows computer per person. But everyone has like 8 computers at home.

The computer is assigned to the person but it's still owned and managed by the company.
