I've had several issues with his thinking in the last couple of years.

Don't get me wrong - in his subject area (which I typically think of as 
VDI/RDS/Citrix) he's a really smart cookie. But he's been veering into the wild 
blue yonder on other things...

Yeah - he's wrong.

"I can never allow non-trusted devices on the corporate network"

You need to redefine your definition of "corporate network." Your corporate 
network is the tight boundary that's around your servers or whatever else 
you're actually trying to protect. There's no point to protecting your entire 
user-land network. Just make it "the internet"
and move on.
----------End Quote----------

When I can keep all of the IP and other confidential data to the company off of 
 end user devices (and by this I mean "not stored to local non-volatile 
storage, encrypted or not"), I can consider that.

In the meantime, the boundary extends well beyond my servers.
