The world outside HN and Silicon Valley is heavily using Windows.
Despite what one might think, Windows is still ruling the desktop and in a typical enterprise environment often also the server landscape.
- arthurcolle 6y agoAlmost unimaginable... could it really be the case..?
- SkyPuncher 6y agoI can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. Basically any company that isn't a software-first company is using Windows. It's clearly not a hard rule, but it's definitely a trend. Healthcare, Insurance, Automotive/general manufacturing, Professional services, logistics, etc, etc are Windows primary orgs. For many of these companies, internal software development is a relatively recent trend (compared to their company history) so they have IT departments that hold everybody on Windows.
- tmuxtux 6y agoI hear this, but these are mostly static companies that don’t grow and don’t release new products. Microsoft has this problem where they really aren’t part of the future or new ventures.
- DharmaPolice 6y agoIf you don't think Microsoft are part of the future you're simply delusional. And I say this as someone not fond of Microsoft.
