You're talking about servers. I would bet credits to navy beans that most of the licenses are for workstations and laptops.

- eitland 7y agoIn that case, even better: (edit: I estimate) half the people at work run Linux or Mac. Linux percentage seems to be rising. Officialy IT don't support Linux. Unofficially they'll be happy to make sure everything works. We threw out MS Office many moons ago anyway, and management switched first and with genuine enthusiasm so it was no problem to get the rest of the company on board ;-) And this is not the first place: Already in 2009 - 2012 I worked for two places like that; well one of them went further and almost completely banned Windows because the IT manager couldn't stand it. The other place just had a policy to let people choose, -and a dev team that would encourage people to pick Macs. From 2015 I've been free to choose my own OS again.

- eitland 7y ago> my experience is probably far more typical. I guess you are right. Still it hives me hope that things are changing for the better :-)
