That just sounds like bad management, and a huge opportunity to cut costs by switching to Linux and something like cursor or other alternatives.

    I don't think you understood my sentence, we (the company) already offer plenty of choices. In fact we offer OpenAI (Codex, ChatGPT) as well as Gemini. I just admin Cursor, Copilot and Claude (and at one time we offered Windsurf, but that didn't have enough users to rectify the costs/time spent administrating it). What I am trying to tell you is that the fairly new companies, OpenAI, Cursor, Anthropic/Claude absolutely suck at making their product usable by the enterprise while Gemini and Copilot completely understand enterprise needs/requirements.

    We already have Linux laptops (with enterprise controls). /edit Apple machines are primarily used though. We even offer Windoze if you really need it! (Some folks do.)
