You are in the minority. Most IT and devops people are massively change averse and tend to blame all problems on the most recent change. They would rather pay more for a known quantity. This is even more the case for non technical management.

In 2 to 3 cycles it won't be in their control. We are riding the buggies right now while ICE cars are blasting right past us.

  My suspicion is it matters a great deal on OS stack until Microsoft supports ARM in Server. I’m sure the bsd/Linux OSes will have a much easier time transitioning. Edit-I’m seeing some articles that make it look like arm might already be usable on Windows. There’s still legacy software issues though.

    In 2 to 3 cycles the OS will disappear as a variable in the deployment target. You won't know about it, you won't care about it, it won't be a dimension you think about.

      Where are you getting this POV? I’m curious to hear it further fleshed out.

        A container doesn't really care much about what runs it, as long as the runtime provides the right endpoints. A serverless environment cares even less.

        I defer to the other replies to your position. Though I’d love to stop caring about underlying OSes.
