    It’s the operational reality that even in an org that does a lot to support Open Source, like all orgs, they require a lot of non-technical people to keep the thing going

      It’s the operational reality of a herd mentality in the C suite across every major and semi-major software company, a C suite that cares much more about bullshit Gartner reports than what their underlings say, coupled with high-ranking marketing people who are addicted to Outlook and think everyone should be.

      Also, you pay Microsoft to move lots if liability off yourself to Microsoft.

      A C-suite level person gets lots of guarantees for all sorts of things from Microsoft that they can blame almost regardless of what goes wrong.

      This is Microsofts biggest advantage, they sell a fall guy.
