>>>The sheer amount of effort and risk to keep a Microsoft based infrastructure alive is a massive waste of money and resources.

Not when you look at the reality. In the vast majority of circumstances, Microsoft is a lower risk and has a lower TCO than the alternatives. If there was a better solution, people would be migrating en mass but in reality Microsoft's market share is still growing in most areas other than mobile! Particularly where it matters like in cloud - where Microsoft actually overtook Amazon AWS in revenue last quarter and are growing much faster!

At the most well known site that tried an OSS alternative - Munich - it's has been such a disaster they are desperately investigating migrating back to Microsoft..
