Our company needs a new system, the older Server 2008 R2, Exchange 2010 and Win 7 as clients are no longer supported.

So the boss asked what to do. I learned early that "no one who bought Microsoft has ever been fired".

But I risk it. We will not go the Microsoft way this time.

Too expensive, no small and middle class company can afford this anymore.
Not with all the bugs, problems, disadvantages, search not working, unintuitive GUI, licensing "system" (LMAO), this dated idiotic domain system, all data submitted to the US, backdoors and traps, fail updates destroying your programming, an outsourced exchange server and last not least this dumb aggressive MS behaviour, NSA and Trump.

I am not looking forward to it and there may be other spoofs and problems, but at least we will not pay for this joke of a company MS has become any more. Bye bye.


Privately, use it for gaming ok. Of course lots of disadvantages, all your private data and metadata stolen and tailored filter bubbles for you, but there is nothing you can do apart from abandoning all online stuff anyway.
