  • Fun for you, but certainly not possible for your average company.

    HR, finance, sales, management only webinterface they use is Sharepoint. All the rest is done on proprietary software and Excel.

    Software development have been creating Access programs because they need to work with some old IBM server. We’d not only have to replace that hardware, we would also have to replace the experts and hire ones with knowledge about the new languages to be used, and convert everything on the servers of course…

    Marketing is maybe the easiest, but they will need to get used to new software.

    And all of the users will need to follow training to use Linux.

    Users complain when a button moves a centimeter, they will definitely complain when their entire OS changes.

    So no, it is easier to rebuild an entire company than it is to switch the environment.
