A conversation with our network/system admin.

Me : Can I install linux on my computer, windows is slow and terrible.

Him : No, if you use anything but Windows in this company, you will be fired for bypassing our security protocols. Its written in your contract.

Me : *boots up my Macbook*

    @DLMousey Can't build a mac app, without a mac. So, they overlook it.

    @DLMousey Funny thing is that I spoke to him about this way after starting with the macbook, he is just a windows fanboy, he wants everyone to use it.

    @jacojvvdev The company should supply you with a MacBook and do what they can to get it on the domain.

    @DLMousey also, by their logic, every android user should be fired as well. So, Im safe.

    True. But sometimes one have to ask. Are we to make products and earn money for the company? Or to use Windows? 😃

    @andersoyvind The company probably made their money in the first place by making stuff for Windows.

    Your high horse, get off it.

    @drRoss actually, I work for a publishing company. Not a software company.

    We only have three developers on site, every one else is pretty much your typical user. Except for sysadmin of course.

    It doesn't sound like the ideal job ever thought of changing it ? Dictating employee work flow to such a degree is terrible
