      Absolutely. I work for a company historically locked in Microsoft infrastructure. It’s taken me close to 7 years, but we’re finally finishing the migration of the in-house platform from Windows - only to kubernetes based and WEBGUI. Once that’s done, everyone gets to choose what they use (windows, Mac, Linux, BSD) and moving forward my boss agreed that all company laptops will be from System76.

      So, yeah, 7 years, but I never quit. 2K+ employees.

      We shouldn’t think this way. As individual consumers, those of us who buy Microsoft products for personal use, if we were to stop buying their products, even though businesses will continue, it will still make its mark.
