What's wrong with that?  I also have to use Windows, even when
I'm working on Linux device drivers (and have been for 20+

Sometimes you don't have a choice in the matter.

This is because you don't work hard enough *<;-)

Maybe the winking smiley face with a party hat meant he was just joking?




that's not true. there are lots of situations when you just get a
PC and only that system is enable on the specific network.
you can't reinstall it to Linux because there is a 'fantastic' sw
on it which regularly report itself to the server. if this report
delay, the network connection will terminate. yep, you can ask
exception for you but the internal policy is banned it.
                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
so what would you do in this situation?

What??? You are joking aren't you? Future employers may be reading
this.


What do you see as a problem here? He's saying he has no choice about
using Windows in a particular network. That's not unusual. Most
companies bigger than three or four people have IT policies, not always
sanely based. In purely practical terms, all the workstations in a
company might be identical, all running Office, so that anyone can work
anywhere. There might be a third-party security compliance procedure
that excludes other operating systems, deliberately or otherwise. And
so on...
