Why are we even messing with anything other than WD these days?

[QUOTE="avstor, post: 887891, member: 87871"] It isn't an insane waste of time. It's considered a best practice for a lot of reasons and there's more than just a few use cases. All of us are issued new workstations every two years. They're currently the 2020 i9s or Xeons with 64 GB RAM. I rarely turn mine off. So the coding environment is immediately available upon the simple push of a button. The argument that it is a waste of time is not valid. We have very high productivity measured in LPCph. Likewise we also use remote development with containers, Azure, vSphere, Hyper-V, and so on. Even with an i5 the practice of running VS in a virtualized environment is rarely of any consequence timewise. I set up a Linux laptop running Virtual Box on it, then running Visual Studio in VB. It only has 8 GB RAM and it is not a slow machine for pounding out code. [/QUOTE]
