You guys are using windows?

Yeah, because the software for all the instruments is only available for Windows.

Is it alright to go around wiping the OS off of other people's computers?

  • is what your comment reads like to me.

To be clear: each machine generally needs a computer to be permanently plugged into it. Generally the computer belongs to the university. You're not plugging in your own personal laptop into the machine. Saying to install Linux on these computers is essentially tampering with the university's electronics and IT will be very unhappy that you did that.
