Your development organization should know better than to just blame
their hardware ills on the use of a particular software.  Obviously
your organization fears change (your use of Ubuntu after all makes an
important statement) and like many other kinds of organizations, they
will try to enforce the status quo and ostracize you.

FWIW, you can probably challenge them and show that their Windows
machines are just as vulnerable to hardware damage as a Ubuntu box.  A
sledgehammer (or a chainsaw) will be extremely useful as a
demonstration tool.  I just hope they won't deduct from your salary
should you decide to do this demo :P

Cheers,
