Work involves supporting Windows

It's his first sentence. What does your (understandable) personal stance, have to do with his work environment??

Or the rest of his first sentence:

there's a lot of specialised hardware design software that's only supported under Windows, so this isn't really avoidable

Your statement feels unhelpful.

"specialized hardware" sounds like hardware drivers could be involved, which is out of scope for Wine.
