Funny, where I work we had entire teams being let go because somebody in management decided that Microsoft could do a better job of handling our email. So now for the last several years we’ve had teams working to manage the massive amount of spam we started getting. Management decided to remove THOSE people recently and let Microsoft manage all of our spam controls. And guess what? People are already complaining that there’s no way to shut down the constant “quarantine” emails even though you marked a sender as blocked, plus the quarantine emails don’t come until a day or two later so the actual important emails that get sucked up are not even being seen until well after a response was needed.

So yeah, “buying IBM” can get you fired if you have a microsoft fanboy in management. ☹

99% of the time when these big companies buy licenses the person actually managing the server doesn’t even have access to the RedHat account for support.

Plus everything is in containers now so you can pull or build what you like
