So your complaint is that hacking your way around an enterprise setup was hard…? I mean I don’t love windows or Microsoft by any means but you signed up for what you signed up for.
As a sysadmin that deals with users like you occasionally, I’d take your account away and make you work with paper and pencil. Depending on your industry you can also be legally liable for the data you’re taking off the hardened and secured windows device that your company assumes liability for and putting the risk on yourself.
Linux is awesome but sometimes you need to think ahead a little more than “hurr windows slow Linux awesome”…
