Why would anyone spend thousands of dollars on this piece of shit when Linux solutions are literally free and more secure?
Why would anyone spend thousands of dollars on this piece of shit when Linux solutions are literally free and more...

because it integrates with everything else perfectly and no one in their right mind uses a 'free' version of linux in production that is actually important
Ryan Peterson
pretty much what said
nobody is going to trust something like linux which is free when they feel more secure paying for windows - even if it's the exact opposite of what they are paying for
face it, loonix isn't really wanted by anyone and the only reason I ever use it is because it's forced with certain applications
Elijah Sanders
subsidies
many government systems are run by Accenture/Avenade which are Microsoft partners, Avenade is actually owned by Microsoft

linux isn't more secure by nature it's just less used. Since Windows makes up the lion's share of the market the majority of malicious software is written for it.
Liam Ross
But you can pay for support for red hat Linux
Camden Howard
>more secure?
Thats funny because the Linux kernel alone has more security vulnerabilities than the entire Windows OS:

>linux isn't more secure by nature it's just less used.
It is.
Ryan Foster
Consider that linux is open source, making vulnerabilities easy to find.
Henry Mitchell
>Consider that linux is open source, making vulnerabilities easy to find.
Windows is the same way you retard

Because microsoft has their dicks so far down their throat it would cost way more to use a different ecosystem
Jaxon Bailey
good bait

ASP.NET/IIS mostly. Windows Server is virtually non-existent outside of the webserver market though.
Elijah Smith
>I dont know what Exchange, Active Directory, SQL Server, System Center or HyperV is
Brody Robinson
you must not spend too much time outside. have you ever fucking heard of active directory?
Lucas Bell

Cameron Davis
>production that is actually important
yep, webservers are most important.
Isaiah Young
>what is active directory
Samuel Sanchez
Yes I know what these features are and I am a fan of them, but the overwhelming majority of servers do not run Windows. That's just a fact.
Juan Harris

literally who
Ryder Ramirez
Active Directory.
Isaac Carter
Cause the people who use Server 2016 actually earn good money and don't need to resort to freeware.
Noah Gomez
It looks like you got tricked by the fake news. Your litterally who source doesn't even exist - archive.is
Xavier Wilson
You stated that windows servers aren't used much outside of the web server market. It's the other way around. Windows servers aren't used for web servers but they are heavily used for active directory, file servers, mail servers, database servers, and COTS software.
Noah White
>loonix isn't really wanted by anyone
except most servers and almost all super computers
David Sanders
also mainframes and IoT
don't forget smartphones and embedded devices
Brayden Jackson
also: 3% DESKTOP users!
M$ finished and bankrupt!
Austin Martinez
>don't forget smartphones and embedded devices
Well, there is that also.
I didn't want to appear to be showing off
Brody Walker
>except most servers
lmao
Noah Moore
I'm in that 3% and you can suck my dick
Ryan Thomas
>thousands of dollars
First on, that amount of money is rounding error for most businesses.
They likely lose more to office theft than the cost of that license.
Secondly, we don't know their specific needs to say for certain that Linux in their case would be the better solution.
fuck off.

windows only is good for gaymers on desktop
>inb4 wikipedia
check sources
Parker Gomez
it wasn't sarcastic, you cunt!
It's just a matter of time when we surpass windows on desktop!
Mason Sanders
What the fuck did I just read
You have no clue what you're talking about
This is what I've seen working with MS partners
Even still redhat is used behind the scenes, which you can replace with (free) centos every time.
Hudson Wright

Jonathan Martinez
I still am waiting for the lip service!
Also, sorry for the saltiness.
But mostly, chupa me verga!
Grayson Adams
>nerds who get grants from the government to calculate numbers on a supercomputer that will never amount to anything use linux
This means nothing. Windows dominates the Server & Desktop market.
Tyler Phillips
>no one in their right mind uses a 'free' version of linux in production
Are you implying that companies only use RHEL or similarly commercially supported Linux distributions in production? This is not at all the case. A ton of companies runs on Debian and whatnot. You are right about Windows Server, but then you go off the track for some reason.
Ethan Williams
they spent all their money on hardware so they cant afford windows
