We're going to move Windows to that model too. A way out from users tied to "that computer" would be a shared drive for builds of course. We have gigabit to the desktop. A local drive, 7200 rpm ~ 60 MB/s which is ~ gigabit ethernet. 100T network is 11.7 MB/s. Our server has 10 GB too. For older windows laptops, a Samba share is faster then a 5400 rpm local drive. For 7200 rpm, it's about even. How much of your speed up was due to local vs network drives?
