Know nothing about this stuff, but from my experience if you're on their network they can track everything? We used to get fun emails stating facebook stats :biggrin:

It's probably only traffic they monitor rather than tabs being open. But even then it might mean they don't care about a little internet usage?

That's why I'm pretty sure no business will actually "allow" personal use on a company laptop.
Most don't actually care though as long as it's reasonable.

I'd be highly surprised if you have admin rights on the laptop (if you do then your new employer's IT department aren't doing their jobs properly) and so you won't be able to create a new user / profile, install applications, etc. You'll just be able to use it, rather than play with it.
It's a much bigger risk for them to take too. Desktop computers in the corporate environment are great - they're permanently connected to the network, permanently manageable and monitorable (is that a word?) and cost about £100 a box. Laptops cost more, are more fiddly and more prone to breaking, and wander off for long periods of time without 'phoning home'. Therefore they get treated differently as they are a greater risk.
