Remember the opening scenes of (I believe it was) the first Mission Impossible movie?
Rooms a bit more secure than that are where many of our products go.
If I have to say it - no internet connection for anybody working in there.
That kind of customer would get cranky if the only product docs were online.
But for other products - including some of ours - I can see the advantage; I've often argued exactly that advantage. Separate instances for each functionally different version of the product, of course.
