I thought businesses were in it for the money. If it costs less and does the same thing or better while being as safe or safer, you use it. Works for table saws and IT infrastructures. As I said, the only question is the expense of the switch, not so bad for table saws, kind of expensive for IT infrastructures.
Anything else is a waste of money, be it because the PHB was mesmerized by the MS rep or the head of IT is worried about the size of his kingdom
And that switch had better be cost justified for longer than the life of one operating system. And so far that's all we've got to go on.
