    I work a a software company that mainly develops one online software and people are used to work with computers. But even here I feel like there is some strange invisible barrier.

    IT was trained to work on windows. What we do - everything works. The cost is there, calculated, it’s actually pretty small compared to everything else.

    Changing is just unimaginable for a company like that - to take this risk, and for so little upside.

    At a user level, almost no one would have an issue. But at the process level, damn.

      Especially if you’re an Active Directory shop. Switching out that infrastructure is a heavy lift.

        Meh, Windows server is still pretty stable. At least up through 2022, I think 2025 is the Windows 11-based version. I haven’t really used it, but I know it brings the Windows 11 with it.

        We still use AD at work as an auth backend to our Linux and other SSO systems. Our CAs are Windows too, I think.
