Not in "properly-run" companies. I work in a large team of
Solaris/Linux, AIX, and HP-UX sysadmins. We all use Windows and don't
have any control over our boxes. For example, if we don't like the
default nix sysadmin app of putty and want to use teraterm, we have to
ask the desktop support team to install it for us.
