You see news of some places switching to Linux or planning to switch, but if you work in a company in Europe and its not an IT company, chances are they are using Windows still

the switch doesnt happen in a short window period. Now that the impulse is given, it will only grow. My country has ordered every administration to establish a transition plan. It s a begining none of them had already switch but we have to start somwhere. It s more than linux never had as a will to be massively adopted. We already have administration that were under linux before that, some will switch faster than other some could not be abble to do so. It's public planning, and you should look at it under a 10 year window minimum and now it hasnt even been one year thoses efforts started

Sure, my comment was not meant as "don't even bother", it was to criticise only the phrase "we ditched it".
