There is literally nothing I do anymore that requires Microsoft. Linux is a fine OS. OpenOffice/Libre Office and other MS Office alternatives are available and do fine jobs.
eMail clients, email services, calendaring services, cloud hosting services, etc.. are a dime a dozen these days, don't need Microsoft for any of that either. I know enough Linux to last a lifetime, I can damn' sure move my media, calendaring and home automation stuff over to Linux pretty easily and say goodbye to Microsoft in a weekend.
FU Microsoft!
Signed,
a former customer and Senior I.T. Decision Maker in a very large US Bank. By the way, kiss yourselves goodbye there too. Linux has been eating into the Windows Footprint here for years. I'm just gonna mash the accelerator to the floor this year, change some objectives, re-write some goals and make sure my people move your crap out of our data center.
Oh, our enterprise licensing costs? We're going to save upwards of $20mm getting rid of you. I'm gonna be a FREAKING HERO when you're gone.
One of the reasons I ditched MS products and Win 7 in particular, is because my laptop would see my flatbed scanner on all USB ports but only function on one of them.
Then the security updates that caused Corel to not load.
Linux Mint Cinnamon 18 works much better.

Do you have a link on that? I would post that as another thread, or you are welcome to, and ping me for the list.
