Actually, you'd be surprised how often people try to use their home computer. Either because it's slightly faster, it's a nicer (more expensive) machine, or because to them, a computer is a computer.

It's an argument I've had many, many, many times with people in the corporate world. Technical controls and strong corporate policy go hand in hand to stopping that.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but most companies are going to use a certificate provisioning process tied to the device that is required for connecting to corporate resources. I agree with you that lacking this opens the door for someone to connect with an insecure device and create a whole series of compliance issues.
