And also don’t tip your waiters because that just helps the owner /s.

I work in a Windows-dependent company, and would very much like to see all MS-products thrown out. Withholding features is ignorant and will make everyone’s lives miserable. Users won’t see it as a problem with Microsoft, they might not see it as a problem at all, they will just quietly suffer.

A slightly better path is to guide users to standardized, open applications on Windows. Then, an admin might have an easier time eventually pulling the cord without breaking too many workflows.

As a single anecdote, I will say that when I personally migrated from Windows to Linux, it was a lot easier because I was already using mostly FOSS applications. It turns out, if you use Windows to run Firefox and Libreoffice and whatever, there's a lot less friction to using Linux to run Firefox and Libreoffice and whatever:)
