The only reason any of those businesses use Microsoft products is because of active directory and exchange. Both of which are legacy products that are being, if not already, phased out. The real truth is this, the enterprise runs on Microsoft, but the world runs on Linux. Windows is so bad for containers that Microsoft has to make their own distro of Linux specifically for containers with azure Linux and that’s just one example of the technical debt Windows creates. The quicker NT can finally die is when the world can finally move towards real innovation instead of being handicapped by Microsoft and their unfair business practices. Some of us haven’t forgotten “embrace, extend, and extinguish” which is exactly what they’re doing in the gaming markets by buying up the competition.

From an IT perspective it’s active directory and exchange (and lol no they’re not being faced out, there’s nothing better to replace them), but from a business process standpoint it’s because of Outlook and Excel.
Your hatred for Microsoft is blinding you from reality.

The truth is, faceless datacenters run linux. PEOPLE run Windows.
Only because they don’t know any better. Microsoft’s marketing and retail reach are what decide that, not the people’s informed decision making.
