Wize Buying Guide for Developers
Developers are dedicated computer users with sophisticated tastes, and chances are they know what they want from their desktops. It's often a matter of taste, habit or personal preference, but there are some benefits and disadvantages to each.

Windows desktops are notoriously vulnerable to viruses, but there is no doubt that the software developed for the Windows operating system and its accessibility in the computer world is incomparable. All major developing languages are compatible with a Windows desktop, and many clients run this popular OS, which will eliminate hassles when working with others.

Linux distributions are very popular with developers. They are open source, allowing for almost infinite adjustments to your custom desktop environment. All Linux software is free, and there is plenty of diverse development software available for Linux systems. Low vulnerability to viruses and an enthusiastic user base makes a Linux distro ideal for programming. Be prepared, however, for the problems it may cause when you're working with clients who run more popular environments like Windows.
