In the company I work for they have outlawed all Unix
variants (Linux, Solaris, OSX) from certain networks. I
asked why Cygwin could not be installed and here is
some of the response I got back:

> Cygwin, in itself, is typically a harmless application.  
> However, once installed, it does allow a user to invalidate 
> the NT Security architecture; a user can then install cygwin 
> ports without the NT administrators consent (including, of 
> course, the cygwin DHCP port).

How should I respond to this?
