Re: The excuse is a reason to stay with Linux
I actually DID park a job candidate for admin assistant in front of a linux box at the interview. I didn't say a word about that...It already had open office open, but otherwise the usual Mate stuff.
She performed the requested tasks flawlessly and quickly, took dictation straight to the screen (heck of a typist along with the rest) while adding the usual business letter fluff to the thing, got it printed...(and got hired).
She asked me "what version of windows are you running, I like this a lot better than the one I'm used to".
I never could tell if she was having fun at my expense, but..it was no problem.
If their issue is things like teleworkers, hmmm, last time I did any of that I had to conform to what my customer wanted, not the other way around.
