When I did a gig for Statnett in Norway (the state owned company that owns and manages the high voltage power system) a couple of years ago; they provided a Windows laptop for me even though I was a contractor not an employee. There is no way that they would allow a device out of their control to connect to their network and services! The risks are far too high.
I could use my own more powerful laptop but only as a Citrix client.
