It’s no longer meant to be used by computer savvy people. It’s meant for consumers. Literally. People that just consume and do not produce or think.
We are walking a different path now and need to say goodbye to windows and Microsoft.
I see, so quite an old company then. (Access, IBM server and sharepoint, etc) Not something a newer company would be using.
I can see you would be stuck with that older tech debt. And finding people for that old stuff is harder then finding people that want to use the new stuff.
Teaching people to use Linux? I mean, not much difference between windows and KDE anymore? Just need to know how to log in, and start their software?
In the end, if your company is not able to move and change to a new world / user demands…
I’m getting the idea people are still using ms office? At least use the online version?
From exact to online sap, nextcloud and email clients, it’s all very much web interface based. So buttons are not moving for these users at all.
As a European IT admin:
Everyone in HR, finance, sales, management can all be moved to Linux. They all use webinterfaces for all of their work.
Software development, no windows specific software.
Even marketing / image creation… More and more software is ready or available for Linux.
Ignoring this very real option for most of your people is indeed silly these days.
Hell it might be worth having a central windows VM that people can rdp into for that one old windows app.
2·2 months agoMust be an American company? In the EU shops i visit, even citrix is Boeing replaced with web based linux environments.
Right up until these new Linux users start demanding linux at work as well. And IT folk will be more then happy to supply them.
No I truly think Microsoft is slowly losing the OS market.
Let me put it this way: if you had to start fresh. New company. Would you default to using windows? The fact that many are hesitant after that question, shows you Microsoft is losing.
2·2 months agoAnd I label the current administration as nothing different from the Nazi era.
And I’m closer to the truth than this “lady”.
Or. Complain to your government. This is one time i’m on the imgur side of it.
They can’t help that your government is stupid. Why should they then be banned from being used?
Oh guys I’m kidding of course. I was going with the OP’s theme here.
Should have added something like ‘/s’ I guess?
Install a ROM on your phone and claim it no longer works on there :-)

If they did not, they at least ignored that instinct and kept using WhatsApp…
How do we get people to stop ignoring their better instincts in things like this?
“We will never show you ads in WhatsApp. We promise”. --Facebook when they bought WhatsApp and promised the previous owner not to force ads in the app…
I was paying for a whole family (premium). But I will not pay and send money to a fascist state. We’ve cancelled all our us based services.
31·6 months agoThey know it was barely 20.000. they know. They could never admit it ofcourse.
And the “not admitting and not wanting to be truthfull” is the whole problem.
I’m afraid it might mean that the next demonstration will need to become slightly more forcefull. And more forcefull after that.
Right until they acknowledge the legitimate concerns… Or they are removed…
and if my grandmother had wheels, she would be a bike!
Trust comes on foot and leaves by horse.
It will be decades before some semblance of trust has been earned back by the USA (starting after they act normally again, whenever that may be)
