DLP snoopware for me. We actually need to be able to demonstrate that we know where the sensitive data is and is not. We have a metric for unsupervised devices and we need to keep that number as close to 0 as possible.

2ndly, there is the nature of what the company does. If you are at a software engineering company, chances are you can just grab any linux lappy and get to work because everything you need is covered.

If you are at a software consuming company, you are at the mercy of what your LOB apps support. Software that has this kind of company as its customer either only targets windows or only targets web browsers (and even web apps somehow find a way to be windows-specific).
