I'm a Linux sysadmin who's recently been offered a job at a Mediterranean subsidiary in a customer-facing position.
In the early engagements, I was lulled with all sorts of stories about How Microsoft loves Linux and all, but halfway through the interview process one of the interviewers told me point blank that I have to dogfood Windows 10 (laptop and mobile) or "it would look bad".
Considering I was sought out precisely because I work on AWS using solely Linux AMIs, spent the past 3 years using a MacBook and prefer Android phones, this did not sit well with me, but I let it pass at the time.
Am now looking at a fairly good offer letter (slightly more than what I can make anywhere else in this part of the EU, at least) and wondering if I should accept it - not because of any ill will towards Microsoft (the buzz is good, and I was never one of the haters), but because I don't want to go through a culture clash - I had enough of those at Oracle, thank you.
Advice, anyone?
So, don't fret much. Run a fedora VM using hyper-V client, and deal with it.
