At work, the windows outage spooked management hard. They noticed that our small amout of Linux servers didn't go down. So now they are OK with us using Linux more. After many decades of Windows.

What Windows outage?

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 8 points 1 month ago

Not certain what others experienced, but in my company, a bad Windows Update knocked out most of our computers for a full day. It was so bad, you can see it in like monthly financial reports when it happened.

It was one of the motivators for why my job dropped Microsoft.
