It has yet to hit me. Really, it's a no-brainer, especially if you're
documenting multiple products. You need something on par with theirs
so you have no performance issues and can run VM images if needed.

Me, I'm in a situation where I need VS.NET, as well as VM images, tech
writing tools, and office productivity tools. My demands for machine
specs are incredibly high, and are justified.

Maybe, maybe not. I can see environments where a technical writer may

Borland tools, and in that case, Gene's statement is true...I for one
am not one.

However, if your management knows that you aren't a developer and yet
you ask for a development machine, your request for what you REALLY
need may hit a credibility snag.
