That's Not a Completely Bad Idea

The idea of allowing employees choose which computer they want, using a type of voucher program, is gaining traction among businesses.

This is probably a pretty decent idea, with PC hardware getting less and less expensive and generally more reliable, disparate PC (and that includes Macs, you zealots!) are becoming almost a non-issue. Companies are switching to virtualization and online-only apps, so the computer it runs on (and it's own unique set of security issues) are less of a problem than the past.
