'Constraints at work' could mean a lot of different things; I've seen a few enterprise applications that don't work well in a VM for various reasons (anything that needs accurate timing works better on physical hardware, for instance, as does anything that needs access to certain physical hardware devices like hardware dongles (iLok, for instance, works better on physical hardware, and special interface cards, PCI and/or PC Card or Cardbus (or ExpressCard) sometime cannot be made work properly in a VM environment). More than likely it's the boss simply saying 'you will run Windows XP, period.' Most people either cannot afford to take a stand on principle (because there are bosses who will fire you if you don't do it their way, regardless) or would rather just fit in. Most people do not have OS freedom at work. Be glad if you do. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
