Companies are stuck with Windows because that’s what the workforce understands and there is nothing remotely close to Active Directory. They’re stuck with Office because nothing can replace Excel.
Lemmy: “I’ve been using Linux for years. These companies are so dumb.”
Wondering that myself. MDM is pretty wide spread and Mac has great centralized management with all the invasion of privacy the org admin could ask for.
If I recall correctly, there was a intention in a European country to switch a department to a fork of OnlyOffice, but “there was too many bugs and incompability issues that it didn’t make it reliable”, and the employees still had access to Microsoft 365, so my bet is that some tried it and when they don’t understand it they kept using Microsoft Office.
Please if anyone else have more info please share it, I remember hearing about this from TheLinuxExperiment.

They’re only stuck because they want to be. There are many ways to skin a turnip.
