Google policy on employee windows machines
Does Google still essentially outlaw Windows machines for employees at work? (except of course for developers working on Windows-Chrome, etc).
What do most employees use? Is there a big contingent of Linux-as-main-machine users?
I do not work there, but the people I know there are required to use a hardened Linux machine for Production access.
Google doesn't outlaw Windows machines for employees. I've had a windows laptop (currently on Chromebook). I used it to ssh to my workstation. There may be restrictions I'm not aware of but my statement is generally true for engineers across the company. that said, most people have Mac laptops, and gLinux workstations.
