Legacy software with incredible backwards compatibility, exponetially more software options, user familiarity, pretty much everything that active directory provides from user management to group policies, the list goes on.

Im a linux guy, but the thought of rolling out even the most user friendly linux distro gives me nightmares.

    Aren't they? Changing a legacy app can take years to do the needed research, approval, procurement, and implementation. "Because my IT guy doesn't like Windows" is a terrible reason to undergo that process.

    The same with retraining users on a whole new OS. You'll spend hours over the course of months answering "where did my C:\ drive go?". That's a lot of time you'll never get back.

    Active Directory provides a lot of tools that are familiar to senior techs and easy enough for junior techs to figure out. I might prefer how Salt Stack works but I don't have time to train dozens of fellow techs.

    Linux is cool for a number of reasons, but it isn't a magic easy button and a wise admin doesn't swap out fundamental parts of his tech stack without careful consideration.
