This is absolute BS. What IT department is going to allow an employee to bring in their PC? How are they to know that the machine is patched, has the correct virus version installed and would let a foreign machine join the domain.

I'm sure in this author's world you can just hook up a MAC to the network and everything is peachy; it is not.

I told the idiot to do a cost benefit analysis and that was the last I heard of it.
