Antilles: I'm not saying Windows is more secure than Linux at all, my belief is the complete opposite. Unfortunately the workplace isn't necessarily a place where one is put their opinions into practice. I still stand by, better the evil you know than the evil you don't. (Ninjatuned basically replied for me - - thanks!)

djs: We had a developer with his own laptop PC. I'm not site support, so it's not my business... but I agreed with IT, it pissed them off to no end. He left, and I'm sure he still has all the licensed software on it (screwing the company). There was no way to know how secure it was... and moreover, they wanted admin rights to it because if he was gonna use it as a company resource, they should be able to manage it as one when it was here. No go. Lots of issues arose from it besides being out a bunch of licenses. (He was a developer, stuff got expensive. He was also friends with a VP which is why he was allowed to bring it in anyway.)

That said, depends on the business. This is a huge BPO, it *has* to be secure as there's credit card / personal info being dealt with. If it were a small design company or something (50-200 users), I'd have no qualms using my tablet for stuff.

One of the worst things in security are the unknowns. My 770 could have a rootkit on it right now and I'd have no clue. If it does, there aren't too many people around here that know what to do. (I do - - REFLASH.)

(I'm seriously a huge proponent of Linux... but as much as I'd love to see it at work, I'd hate to as well.)
