Yes. I have been forced to use Windows for communication, and especially the trifecta of Outlook, Teams and Word opened my eyes as to why a lot of my colleagues weren't getting stuff done and were always hung up on weird problems I couldn't understand. Like "why is the reply on this email TOFU and doesn't even answer half the questions asked below": well, because writing proper replies in Outlook is impossible. "Why does this document look like crap even after someone has spent a week editing in all suggested changes?": well, Word doesn't do proper merging of stuff or proper templates. "Why didn't he answer my chat questions from yesterday?": well, because no proper highlights or working history in teams chats... I feel for all people forced to work like this. I cannot understand employers accepting the massive suck on productivity this causes. For my own sanity, I will charge a premium or avoid such environments altogether. Btw., if possible a workaround for a lot of the usual driver/VPN/that-one-special-application headaches that force employees to use windows is to get approval for vmware, virtualbox or something, install yourself a linux VM and use that in fullscreen for most things. But of course that is not always possible.
