In order to leave him there we'll need a SpaceX rocket. Blue Origin isn't even close to orbital missions.

Give the guy a Break! I'd suggest both arms and legs.
Seriously, Class Envy, like all envy, hurts no one but those that are envious. I wonder if all of those people who make a living working for him, feel that way. 
Also, if he wasn't let back down to earth, someone else would just take his place. sad, but true.
I would like to see Satya Nadella on the same flight, if it would really be prevented from coming back.

Now?
At Close of business?

Now 7, excluding Visual Studio or SSMS
End of Business 9+

Processes, 6.
Windows, 8. (Some processes show different summaries of data in different windows).
If I open Paint Shop Pro, that rises to something like 20 windows.
At close of business 0 - PC is shut down.

Now: 11.
By EOB: ~15 or so.
My developer machine stays up and running 24/7 until forced reboot. I just lock it when away. I write server side services that process and monitor data in B2B relationships, so unit testing is time sensitive and long.

Pretty much always the same.
SQL Server Management Studio
One or instances of Visual Studio (sometimes 4, but that's rare)
SmartGit
Chrome (10 to 15 tabs usually)

Trick question. If I hit Alt-tab on my main desktop, it shows a total of 21 different windows, but 5 of these are RDP windows into other systems, each of which having many more of their own.
There's no reason for that count to be any less "at close of business". The whole mess is kept running 24/7, and when machines reboot (after a forced update or some-such), they're set up to reload as much of what was already running as possible.

I'm working on my remote desktop: 6
Via a VM: 1 (the RDT)
From my home box: 5 (included the VM) - changes frequently.

When I worked, 10 apps tops. One doesn't need much beyond SQLSMS, VS and a webbrowser.
Now? Puts on geek glasses
Well.. There's Steam, Battle.net app, Spotify for music, Skype, Signal, Explorer and Edge with a dozen tabs - on machine one, a Windows one.
Machine two, a Linux one, also steam, and Rimworld.
Three screens; one for dev, one for debug-logging, one for Rimworld. Still alt tabbing to look up stuff on Google, so I definitely need a screen for that.

I don't understand the premise of the question.
I have fourteen windows open on each of the two systems I'm using right now (work and personal).
But on my personal system I have three Chrome windows open with a total of a hundred tabs -- do they (browser tabs) count as well?
I'm working from home, there is no "Close of business", all windows and tabs will remain open for use again tomorrow.

|

|

I just wanted to find out if most developers had a tonne of tabs open.
|
|
|
|

23, the same number that were open when I let it go to sleep last night.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I've been trying to attach an equalizer to the streaming music with no success.
I tried Windows Media Player, but the moment you cast the music to a device, Equalizer has no effect.
I installed Spotify, & Installed a chrome plugin to do the equalizer job. But again, the moment I cast the audio to my music player device, Equalizer is cut off. The raw audio is going straight from Spotify to the music system.
Any help?
