	Not to mention if a user hasn't logged into a machine before and
has 100meg profile (This isn't out of the question since IE defaults to
storing its cache in the profile and the default number of megs is
something ungodly like 100meg or if a person has a huge file they
downloaded on their desktop) it will take quite awhile to suck 100megs
from the server to the workstation and then the user will come knocking on
your door wondering why their computer is so slow logging into the
network.
