Considering most boring corporates run windows as their main server OS, I think it be an easier sell to run windows for on premise applications.

- bad_user 10y agoIn my experience dealing with boring corporations, that's another myth. Yes, they run Exchange. But all new developments I've seen happen on Linux boxes, precisely because it's easier to outsource IT.
- rpeden 10y agoPerhaps it depends on how boring/conservative the corporation is. At a past job where we worked with big banks, they'd sometimes look at you suspiciously if your application didn't run on Windows Server. That's just anecdotal, though. Maybe we were just unlucky and worked with odd customers.
- UK-AL 10y agoNo. It's not odd. The vast majority of corporations have an IT department who's main skill is windows management. And for good reason. There still lacks a decent Active Directory/Group Policy/ Exchange open source combo.
- eeZah7Ux 10y ago> Considering most boring corporates run windows as their main server OS You are confusing "boring corporations" with "boring stack" (as in: stable, reliable, non-hipster)
- UK-AL 10y agoNo I mean boring corperates. You know companies that make office furniture.
