My developers complain about AV too. As I have said to them many times, AV
comes before them and it is not open for discussion. Period.
As for your WS's. I have worked in the software industry my entire career. I
have never seen a company provide its programmers with HW as nice as what
you give them. The only possible upgrade would be more memory.

What are they developing in and what do they run on their PC's

Subject: Win2K PCs for developers


Hi everyone ,

I was wondering what kind of Hardware/Software configuration is used
normally for software developer's computers ?

We are a small company and have about 10 software developers (they think
they are the smartest and intelligent people around, huh !!!) . We have
given them P-4/1.5Ghz/Win2K/256Mb/SCSI 18Gb HDDwith Adaptec SCSI cards),
these are Compaq Workstations . Each of them have two 21" monitors connected
to their computers. On top of Win2K they have McAfee virus scanner. They
bitch about having the virus scanner (say it slow their computers) and
demand more memory and isolation from company's main LAN .

So , I'm trying to figure out what is generally used out else where ? I'll
really appreciate any answers or pointing to some surveys conducted by
someone regarding this.

Thank you very much in advance,

Regards,

Kishore
