While im very happy about this just like everyone else, I think it will be a struggle to get rid of the Microslop stuff. A lot of organizations would simply cease to exist if Microslop office and their Windows admin stuff would be gone right now.

I don’t see how that’s true. It’s a little bit of a change to go to open source. Might need a day of training for a small percentage of particularly slow-minded staff members. Definitely nowhere near “organization is no longer viable” territory.

They have no messaging, no email, no calenders, no file storage, no operating system. While the transition is definitely possible, in an abrupt event you only have maybe emergency coordinations

I’m not clear on what your point is then. Your initial “it will be a struggle to get rid of” pivoted to “abrupt event”.
If you’re trying to make the case that we should all move off MS as soon as possible in order to avoid the damage of an abrupt event then yeah I’m in complete agreement.
