So all your users are working on Macs or Linux? That’s an impressive accomplishment for an enterprise scale work environment.

It was easier for our 500+ employees when our CFO pointed out that its either switch to Linux and have a learning curve or see some of your coworkers, maybe even yourself be laid off. We actually saved so much money dumping Microsoft products that we were able to hire tech ambassadors to help the older folks get setup with the new software.

  I love this so much. We use Macs at work but there’s absolutely no reason we couldn’t just use Linux. 60% (guestimated) of the work, across all departments, is done through the browser and the other 40% is software development. I’d much rather have more smart people around than a $2000 locked down laptop.
