If I had a different specialisation, I'd probably care. But my job is mostly reading and writing documents, and they installed Miktex on my office machine, so I don't want to complain.
We do have formal security requirements to meet though, and I think in general locking down machines in your network is the correct choice. But it's probably not needed in every job
Yeah, I'm a software developer, and everything I write runs on Linux, so there's no reason to use Windows.
