I think MS users are more prone to spend money because they are more used to it.

  Our CTO keeps 'suggesting' that we build services on Azure vs AWS. They're roughly equivalent but Azure works out to be more expensive and more opaque to our team and there hasn't actually been a justification for why other than "because we use Microsoft services". A significant amount of our infrastructure is on AWS already. I imagine the more money we spend, the more goodies he gets. They already sent him a Hololens and that's just the thing I can physically see.

      In this uni of Melbourne study 95% of managers would deny their employer profit if it meant a small personal gain. The example given is $500 personal gain denying a $1 million profit for the business. https://www.businessinsider.com.au/most-people-are-willing-to-let-their-employer-lose-1-million-if-it-meant-they-got-500-2017-3 https://www.businessinsider.com.au/most-people-are-willing-t...
