How many people are actually free to use this product? My work uses outlook+office but, due to 101 different things, we are locked into windows and ie. How many people use outlook+office for email but are also free enough from other restrictions to be allowed linux?

Our office is so locked imto win7 that the ongoing upgrade to win10 is killing things. People are migrating to the few win7 machines to complete essential tasks that now seem impossible on win10. Win7 laptops are being hidden from the IT guys in padlocked security cabinets to prevent the upgrade. We are doomed.

Plenty of people work for much smaller companies than big corporates. In fact I'd go so far as to say that most people do.
A lot of people can use Hiri because runs on Windows and Mac too.
Then again, so does Outlook.
