When you are CIO, you decide what the users need to run (based on input from the users, of course) and you provide that infrastructure. I would probably do as google did, and allow Linux or Mac desktops, and a formal review for requests for Windows desktops. And the Windows machines would be in their own subnet, with traffic in and out untrusted.
