    Too many businesses, lots just started with MS Small Business Server and Upgraded from there. Now they of course are all "upgrading" to MS Cloud Copilot plus max ms365 for Teams ultra or whatever they are calling it today because the CEO was convinced by their marketing Materials.

    Just about every government and business. I'm guessing you've never had a job in IT.

    Terminal servers, sccm, SQL, software that's only available for Windows. Companies and governments don't consider ideology when they choose a platform. They consider "what do I need to run this product" and "what's the TCO". Most larger orgs will have a healthy mix of windows and *nix servers and often a separate team to manage each.
