In the corporate environment, the end point doesn’t matter, whether it is a Mac, Dell Desktop, HP Workstation, iPad, Android Smartphone, it has no value. It is just a tool, like a drill or wrench, it does what it needs to do. If it breaks, you fix or replace it.

Great analogy. I mean, what carpenter or plumber or contractor doesn't describe his tools as having "no value"? I'm sure they'd all tell you that the cheapest POS is just fine, and if it breaks during a job that doesn't pose a problem at all.

When a carpenter breaks his drill, he isn’t out of business, he grabs another one or buys a new one.

The endpoints themselves should have no value, and what do I mean by that? In the industry it means nothing of value is stored on them. Why? Because the most important part of the end point is the data itself. That is why it is stored in secured enterprise data centers, replicated across SANs, servers in multiple locations.
