A few years back, LeCroy was suggesting that you load a virus scanner
in their Windoze based scopes if it was network connected.

We have an Agilent network and spectrum analyzers that runs Windows and they
suggest the same thing.

We also have a Tek spectrum analyzer with Windows, and interestingly Tek has
done a much better job than HP at optimizing the Windows start-up time... the
Agilent machines are well over a minute (like a regular desktop PC), whereas
the Tek is probably no more than 30 seconds. Somehow this alone makes me a
little more confident in Tek's ability to make Windows a viable OS for test
equipment than Agilent, even though logically I'm sure there are plenty of
good "Windows tweakers" at both companies, it was probably just a matter of
whether or not they happened to be on the design teams.
