Even microsoft currently uses 50% linux servers and even makes their own linux distrubution.

Joke's on you OP, I used IE until Microsoft replaced it with Edge for some dumb reason.
Same thing happened with WMP/Movies & TV.

They need stuff Pajeet can click on.

Microsft. Office.
the other reason is compatability, having to flip a coin if every device the computer (or hundreds of them in a company) has will function under linux
3rd is having to invest money in re-educating entire workforce on how to deal with linux and that it's now windows
and imagine if every computer started working like a slow, unstable pile of garbage after upgrade to new new and fresh STABLE ubuntu version that suddenly uses GNOME de which has a memory leak developers know about
overcome these concerns.

msce faggots are fungible and cheap

Vendor support and compatibility with proprietary Windows-specific software. Also user familiarity.

Windows is great for workstations, especially if there is that one program (more likely several) your normie coworkers need that can only be run on Windows. You will find a lot of Linux and BSD on servers and supercomputers.

support
there's no one to call 24/7 if something breaks. sure there's canonical and a few others, but they don't issue patches the way apple or microsoft can.

Libre. Office.
>compatibility
this isn't really an issue anymore
>invest money in re-educating entire workforce
if your employees (we're talking about an IT department here) are too braindead to understand the fundamental differences between Windows and Linux and can't translate their workflow between the two after a simple two-hour seminar, they should be replaced.

Active Directory makes it pretty easy to manage hundreds or thousands of users and workstations on a domain, and IT managers like that sort of thing. AD and Office are the major products that keep people on the MS plantation, plus the substantial volume discounts they offer (or used to offer, it's been a while) in the educational and government sectors.

I just wish Microsoft hadn't discontinued this en.m.wikipedia.org
I used ie4Unix in my uni's computer lab full of Linux and Unix machines.

1. Microsoft Office. It is the best at what it does and nothing comes close. I do use Libre Office personally though.
2. Active Directory. This makes managing 10s of thousands of users easy. It really all comes down to Active Directory.
Make a proper replacement for both of these, and watch how fast shit changes.

An IT-department in an office enviroment exist not primairly to offer such services, but to make things much easier for the end user (automation).
Dude, work in IT first before you make such claims.

No one is going to use that garbage and pray that the files they open/save won't have the formatting fucked up. People only waste time at work when they aren't doing work, not when they actually want to do work.
>this isn't really an issue anymore
Some enterprise software is old as fuck and will never be updated. It's a huge fucking problem. One of my clients runs a heating service out of her house and uses some ancient management software for the meters on their oil trucks. That shit barely works on Windows let alone at all on linux.
Also, AD is ez-mode and the number one reason to use Windows Server. I manage some linux servers, and none of them are for managing large amounts of users on a network. Just web servers and shit, nothing actual users ever fucking touch or have to deal with directly. Despite the Jow Forums meme, Windows Server is quite prevalent in professional work.
