Lol, right, right.

Out of the gate: which distro? Which shell? Now get all a business apps working there, some which were custom developed in the 90's.

Or CAD. OneNote with SharePoint (which is extensively used). Etc, etc.

Look, there's a lot wrong with Windows, but switching to Linux for nearly any business isn't realistic, especially large orgs. And if you only have a few users, working around the negatives is trivial with a few reg scripts, or logon scripts, or Group Policies assigned by the DC.

Not with that attitude.
