> Your IT/PC guys keep images with Visual Studio and SQL Server?

Well, I've known of shops where IT keeps complete role-specific (e.g., developer, etc.) or even individual-computer images rather than just generic base images. Or at least have IT track software installed per-user and handle rebuilds even if they use a generic base image. Where I work they don't, unfortunately, but I would never not call that out as a problem.

Common practices and good practices are often not the same thing.
