Those of you who still use windows for one reason or more, where do you draw the line about the shitty things microsoft is doing? By drawing the line I mean using some other operating system no matter how bothersome it might be.
Not judging or anything, i’m just curious where the general mindset is about it.
I only use Windows at work because that is what they have me on my work laptop and I haven’t replaced it. I just use Linux in a VM instead. That way I don’t need to explain a thing to internal IT, but just work within the VM.
Just be aware that using a VM without telling IT can jeopardize your company’s IT insurance in case of an attack and can get you fired for cause.
Sounds like something they don’t pay me enough to care about
OK but if getting fired is also something they don’t pay you enough to care about, then you might as well stay home.
It’s pretty unlikely though
My work is maintaining a distributed windows network. Domain controllers VM’s and over a hundred workstations in several locations.
