I'm gloating! I repeatedly tell a potential customer to change from
windows, and I think so far they asked me for an offer and an opinion 3
times (they had 3 security incidents), and yet they have never purchased
my services and they keep running into these problems. I'm gloating so
much. Sadly I don't think they will ever switch from their beloved
Microsoft though.

No, it wont.
You dont understan middle management in a company.
The IT managers career is best served by spending shitloads of money with a company like crowdstrike which offers impressive legal guarantees in its contracts.
Not by implementing a policy with some 'nerdy operating system' that his boss doesn't know how to use. And developing an IT department to service and support it.

Those who want slavery should have the grace to name it by its proper name. They must face the full meaning of that which they are advocating or condoning; the full, exact, specific meaning of collectivism, of its logical implications, of the principles upon which it is based, and of the ultimate consequences to which these principles will lead. They must face it, then decide whether this is what they want or not.
