Agreed this is somewhat debatable. But the language "bare minimum" still applies I think. Remember, this is at a large software development shop, so there will still be dozens of windows machines. Google is the only company I have heard of that drew a hard line saying no windows machines on the development network.

- bartonfink 15y agoThere are no Windows machines on the development network for my program at Lockheed. I can't speak for the entire enterprise, but every engineer has a Windows box for e-mail and general internet access and a UNIX box on a different network for real work.
