BYOD isn't going to be a "free for all". You bring your own laptop, but you'll access everything through VDI, or something else that keeps the company's system somewhat separate to your system.
Windows RT is a differently kettle of fish IMHO - it's not an open platform.

If a staff member brings in a home laptop and joins it to the domain is it more of a threat or less of a threat than not being in the domain and just plugged into the network. I ask because here after they reboot they will get all the patches, up to date AV software and no-one except IT Staff will be a local admin. Most won't even be able to get to a command prompt. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
