There's no need to pay for the utility, Juan, unless they want the few features that are only available in the licensed version

1) Being able to restrict applications on a per-user basis.
2) Being able to modify another user's profile (or multiple users) from a single logon.

However, version 1.4 does not include the ability to easily allow only 3 programs, per this user's example. It would require restricting everything but. Version 2, which I hope to release shortly after SP2 goes final, is planned to have the ability to restrict a user to a list of applications and/or block specific applications.
