I wish my company would follow suit. But no. We somehow keep digging ourselves deeper into the toxic M$ cesspit. At this point, at least a quarter of the tickets we get is about one of their products shitting the bed (Outlook, Excel, Exchange, Windows itselfโ€”you name it) and us looking for workarounds to patch things up. Recent patch broke DHCP service on some servers. At this point, their updates and patches are less reliable and more dangerous than a random project on Github in alpha stage meant only for personal use.
