You don't get promoted to positions with power to choose for hating Microsoft.

I worked at a place where someone made the deliberate decision to migrate from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 / Outlook / whatever it's called today.

"Most of our partners use Microsoft", so we have to suffer with it, too.

If you're trying to sell to people who use teams, sharepoint and whatnot, and you won't, you're putting yourself in a commercial disadvantage.

I was very happy after I got away from MS-stack companies, but I totally understand why one would switch to MS.

Yep, I get the reasoning. It's just a terrible experience if you're used to gmail.

Depends on the field you are in. There are jobs where you can’t get apps that run on anything but windows.
