What's amazing is when engineering even has to have a discussion as to why
Linux development should be done on Linux machines.

It still doesn't stop them from sending a side group off to try and figure
out if they can setup a cross-compilation environment from windows
machines.  Fortunately, the cross compilation environment is very difficult
to set up, and they've decided it's worth buying linux machines for people
doing linux development.
