Linux is good for everything else, as good as the others, and almost always free. There's an application for everything that Windows has, yet they're named differently so finding them is sometimes harder. But your employer doesn't let you use an application you want?
So what? If you need to create text, multimedia, drawings, or art, Linux does that as good or in some cases better than the other operating systems. And you can work without being noticed, in private, do your own thing your own way. Put in an honest day's work and then do your work your way without the peeping CEO.
Take a USB flash drive, 1 Gigabyte is enough if you don't have a lot of data. Install any of hundreds of flavors of Linux on the drive. A good, small footprint Linux is called Puppy Linux. Even Ubuntu can fit on 1 Gigabyte with enough room for hundreds of megabytes of data.
Make your computer boot from the USB flash, and voila! Whenever you need privacy, reboot with USB.
An alternative - run Linux in virtualbox or some other virtual machine as an application in Windows or Mac. Easy to do. It looks like your machine is still connected with the employer too. But if your employer has a keylogger running, you'll still be watched. The safest way is to reboot into Linux, then back into Windows.
In Entangled, Jason uses Ubuntu Linux to work on a presentation to the Board of Directors while at work. He can't be tracked, traced, or seen if he doesn't go online. This keeps him safe from the prying eyes of his nemesis. Does he have a moral problem with this? Do you?
