What kind of "workstation" were you provided? It sounds like your employer provided you a computer from the Windows 98 era. I'm surprised that your employer couldn't even cough up $50-100 for a used desktop PC.

Hi Jason,I used to develop inside a virtual machine as well (VMWare and VirtualBox) but made the switch to development on the same operating system for hardware reasons. The "workstation" I was provided with didn't have the specifications to run a virtual machine inside its host operating system.Even though sometimes it's frustrating, having to work through missing dependencies and the like is a good experience. I work on a small team where both of us are full-stack developers. When something goes wrong we can only rely on one another and have to solve problems with no other assistance.Being able to scrap a VM instance or reset it surely is convenient but I feel that it prevents you from gaining some development (system administration, really) experience.
