Comment on Why is UI design backsliding?
MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 2 months agoMoving away from Office and Windows and so forth is a nightmare for any larger company. If you use specialized software, it might very well only run on Windows or only have an integration into Office. Even if you could, you then have to retrain staff to use Libre Office, Linux and other alternatives. You also will have problems converting, changing servers and so forth.
So companies just do not switch. That is how Microsoft makes money. They really do not care that much about private users. That is only usefull so people can use their products.

Lots of companies don’t have internal IT departments, and regularly get swindled by 3rd party IT companies (read: licensed Microsoft/Google salespeople) to switch over their entire systems from one or the other, productivity be damned.
