Sure, I do similar work and there would be no interest from either party in having all the same tools installed on my home PC. So we just remote in to our work PCs from home and continue on if we won't be coming in. Judging by the responses, I guess not everyone's employer is as with-it as mine. (We do plenty of secure work, too.)
