I don't know if that's an accurate way to judge. Programmers tend to fix 
their own problems. In our shop  for the people running Linux IT drops off 
a new, bare machine and leaves quickly. If anything the programmers help 
others with the little Windows glitches. If IT gets involved it's usually 
wipe and reinstall.
