I think Mike's having a bit of fun here by pushing some hot buttons to
see whose lights flash!.
As a CIO I've done the homework and have no problem with any OS so
long as it's properly configured. While we're mostly a Windows shop, I
have some Ubuntu and OSX users who've purchased their own non-
Windows Net books.
I haven't seen Android so I've had no opportunity to perform a security
review and penetration test, so as a matter of policy I'd have to block
it until testing indicates there are no extraordinary security issues with
it and corporate standards are satisfied.
Beyond that my only requirement is that home computers must first
pass a security review by in-house staff to be allowed file level
access. Mail access is allowed without a security review but
attachments are not permitted until a review is performed.
