No way in hell.

If my employer wants to reduce my productivity (by enforcing Windows), so be it, he'll have to deal with the consequences.

But using Windows is from a data-privacy and security standpoint (ironically, the same reason I'm supposed to use Windows at work) an absolute no-go.

Just look at how the new outlook handles your email credentials.

Absolutely. No. Way.

I agree but the real reason they use Windows is not security, but security theater. 99% of the companies only care about the checklists in their auditing and compliance forms not for the real security. The market of said checklists and compliance forms is cornered by Windows Consultancy groups. The only real OS actor here was RedHat and this is the main reason why they became successful imo.
