I guess it makes sense to leave the door open, but what OS do you think they should consider? the mainline options basically:
Windows: status quo, dominant on desktop
Linux: investing, dominant on servers
MacOS: American, hates enterprises
ChromeOS: American, limited, uses Linux kernel.
The long tail alternative options include:
FreeBSD/OpenBSD: ditches the Linux kernel but supports much of the Linux software ecosystem
ReactOS: open source windows clone
Haiku: beta, not targeting enterprises
Redox: micro kernel OS written in rust, not ready for production
Seems like the *BSD family is the most viable of these, at least in the short term.
Redox could provide a second-mover advantage with fundamental security upgrades.
