I had a chat with a top security professional in my firm a few days
back regarding a similar thing. In his presentation, he had the words
"virus" and "antivirus" in almost every slide. So why not erase the
problem from root and switch to GNU/Linux or any other *nix based
desktop? His answer was simply this "It's client driven. There are
some who want nothing other than GNU/Linux and then there are others
who want nothing other than Windows. We try to present the alternative
to the latter group as it's cost effective for us as well".
Who are the clients here? If they are employees, then shouldn't they
adapt to the environment decided by the company? Can an employee demand
to use an OS of his/her own choice even if its insecure?
