The average CERN user already does not use Windows or any MS products. All research infra is Linux (Cern Linux, a CentOS derivative), and apart from a stray Macbook, I've never seen anyone use anything but Linux.

Windows was for a few desktops, administrative staff and optionally email (some Exchange or OWA stuff or sth).

So the whole Windows infrastructure from 2000 - 2005, including the use of Office to write documents in some is gone?

And everyone at HLT has ditched their Apple laptops?

I thought Scientific Linux was no longer a thing (I was a beta user back in the initial release).
