Hey,

I have to say, I do not understand the rationale behind asking
Linux developers to use Windows workstations.  Just my 2 cents.

Yes, I know the usual answer... that they also need access to
Windows-only tools like Outlook, etc.  I suspect you'll find that
discourages some of the best Linux developers from considering the
position.  Alternatively, you may find that many of them ignore the
Windows boxes and bring in their own laptops to do the work.

Regards,

Dianne.
