Aren’t the majority of computers already on Linux? Unless you mean desktops

    There's probably one computer at most per employee, but each employee already has a non Windows cell phone. Most servers run Linux. Then there's Linux in a bunch of small devices as well. Windows is a small part of that pie and only getting smaller.

    Windows Server for usage in actual servers? Those companies must be retarded to the core.

    Windows Server is rather common in large enterprise software. All the stuff you pray you never have to interface with

    It sure is convenient. You get a user friendly GUI. But the stability, the resource intensity and the spyware. It's really a retarded decision to build your servers on Windows Server.

    Yes, but some software, and it's usually a financial application, requires a Windows Server.

    I've seen it more than once, as I had to set up the machine, I was dying inside, but there was just no alternative that the accounting could use.
