  There is a world of difference between not supported and not allowed. If you don't support it then don't support but there are some places that are actively hostile to anything but windows.

    >There is a world of difference between not supported and not allowed. Allowing any foreign device, even if unsupported, is a serious cost. Not supported but still on the privileged network (or on the guest net and hooking into any privileged resources) is a HUGE security threat. Especially in areas like ours where make or break comes down to our ability to protect our trade secrets. Malware running on a non-privileged account on a personal computer is still a serious data exfiltration vector. Frankly on our network, not supported is the same as not allowed. >If you don't support it then don't support but there are some places that are actively hostile to anything but windows. Actively hostile to anything but windows, or actively hostile to anything they haven't prepared for, which just happens to be windows because that's what business needs demand? I've known admins who only support windows because its all they know, and admins who only support windows only because that's pragmatic for their deployment. Theres a big difference, and if its the former and it bothers you, vote with your feet and fucking quit dude.
