    With most stuff being pushed to cloud based operations, it’s possible. Backends still going to be all Linux and Windows Server.

    If anything this might open up freedom of choice more for the end users. But I highly doubt corpos in charge would go that route. Most will just pick the cheaper option or the option that makes then look cool/is FotM.

    As far as the posts relation to Apple being majority of the market for mobile devices… that’s just false lol. Also the dudes kinda heavily invested in Jamf, a management suit for Apple devices, kinda a bit biased there.

      I know they exist in other fields but I’ve been a full stack web developer for almost 20 years and I have no idea what Windows Servers are preferable for except Active Directory. I never encounter them in my work and the modern web doesn’t seem to use them at all, really. Is it all legacy stuff and AD or is there an amazing use case for Windows servers in 2023?

      P.S. I am (or was) Windows certified.

        As far as I know the main advantage is if something goes wrong, Microsoft’s support team will help you fix the problem (if you pay for support).

        Tons of software only runs on Windows. At home you can get around this with things like Proton, but in the Enterprise you need support contracts, which means you need Windows.

          All that enterprise software is moving to “the cloud”, where they can charge per user, computation time, allocated memory, or wharever is best for they.

            Much of it isn’t. Honestly, apart from our ticketing system, none of the software we use where I work is cloud based. Most of what we do is latency critical, and those workloads really can’t be moved.
