Also a lot of corporations have a BYOD (bring your own device) policy and as long as it meets corporate security standards, all is well.

It's a good thing they are able to bring their toys with them because very few corporations would actually spend any money on Macs for their businesses, since well, they are toys and, Apple offers no support for the enterprise, given that it is a manufacturer of consumer toys.
