Real question: I know these are huge companies with diverse teams and projects but can anyone share what type of hardware Google, Apple, and Microsoft provide for their devs?
- yesbabyyes 15y agoDon't trust me at all but I've read about Microsoft's machines (probably here on HN) and as I recall they have really top-end hardware. I think Google has a lot of MacBooks but I don't know where I get that from.
- egeib 15y agoI spoke with a Google sys admin a few months ago. He said he had a MacBook and a Lenovo Thinkpad with Ubuntu. It was in the news a while ago, that they only use Mac or Ubuntu. Any Windows OS has to have some type of signoff from management.
- glassx 15y agoThat's what I've heard too. Also, according to this article, 70% of the laptops run OS X and 30% run Ubuntu. Most desktops are Linux, though. http://digitizor.com/2011/07/12/google-android-linux-dream/ http://digitizor.com/2011/07/12/google-android-linux-dream/ and http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2755050 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2755050
