Opera version without BitTorrent client...
Antonio Maiorano
of the built-in Torrent client. I am well aware that you can disable
it as according to this page:
http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/840/
But this is not enough for my company. Is there any way that a version
of Opera can be released, say for office environments, that does not
have any P2P stuff built in?
By the way, I think it's stupid that our company has this policy, but
what I think doesn't really matter :).

I really doubt Opera would release such a version. A few things that might work:
- Disable torrents in the system fixed configuration file, more info on
http://www.opera.com/support/mastering/sysadmin/
- Use something like http://www.opera-usb.com/operausben.htm or
http://www.kejut.com/operaportable
Since the latter option doesn't require installation, it will always work.
Good luck :)

Wow, thank you very much! Didn't know about these versions! Will give
'em a try :)

Why don't they simply block BT on their firewall? What about other
clients or even websites with a BT client written in Java for example?

That would be too easy. You clearly don't have the Corporate mindset,
and will never become a senior manager.
My employer bans Bittorrent S/W then changes its own internal software
distribution mechanism to a bittorrent-like protocol. "Do as we say, not
as we do".

Often the incompetence seems to increase with the rank of someone in the
company's hierchary. It's like a mountain in real life: At the very top
there's nothing but thin air ... SCNR
