We're working hard to get rid of Microsoft as last we checked, we can't disable copiloi using our data used on SharePoint without also removing all required user functionality like searching documents from SharePoint. We searched everywhere and literally couldn't find a way to remove that.

I know that government is storing citizens data there....

WTF, why have companies ever decided to use Microsoft ?

Dump Microsoft, now.

Because the IT Manager is a clueless imbecile who only wants things his way and will not take in any other alternatives whatsoever. Doesn't matter if it's better for the company, they insist on having everything their way.

I remember bringing up possibly switching to linux to my IT manager at my previous job, I was told, and I quote:

I would love to, windows sends a lot of junk network traffic and that sometimes makes it hard to investigate shit, but I was told by corporate that people already know windows and we already paid for the licenses, so no.

That's basically been my experience as well whenever I recommend linux over Windows to corpos, they can't understand that there are valid reasons to switch, they are corporate and they know better than you, even when they know nothing about your field!

I believe the government gets a different version of Windows. My work has blocked copilot and all the AI tools. The search function in Sharepoint works for me though. Companies cannot afford to dump Windows. They need to hire people with Linux knowledge or train existing employees and most importantly rewrite programs still using MS DOS.

programs still using MS DOS

Ever heard of DOSBox, the multiplatform DOS emulator?

But yes, the lack of support for Office and other programs on Wine is a problem.

It's also by design. I can guarantee you that Microsoft has a batch of devs whose sole purpose is to break office & co for wine
