    That’s not what he is saying. Quit that strawman bullshit.

    It’s not exactly a secret that competence for Microsoft Solutions is far more frequent than competence of various Linux solutions, if someone built that solution at all.

    At my work, If a windows user gets a windows related problem, we probably have hundreds of people that can fix it.

    If a Linux user get a Linux related problem. If they can’t fix it themselves, then IT probably can’t fix it either. Not because our IT is useless, but because the Linux guys know know Linux better than IT. So we’d have to call in a contractor to help them.

    And they are not cheap. Because there’s not a lot of Linux experts right now.

      Have you tried calling that problem a feature and that it’s working as expected? If you do that, magically all your windows problems go away.

      I guess you can call in a windows expert to issue you a certificate saying that, whatever floats your boat.

        No, we don’t work for Bethesda. We just fix the problems we encounter. But that’s beside the point.

        Do you know how many programs there are for Linux to manage the payroll for a large company, with various regional taxes? I do.

            I don’t know what other companies use, everyone have different requirements and settle for a solution that suits their needs.

            We don’t use a webbased solution partly because we do not want our data to leave our servers. And it was deemed an unessesary risk.
