Sounds like you work at a startup, not an "enterprise-by-any-reasonable-standard place".

Lying to shape your argument doesn't really fly around here.

EDIT: Furthermore, looking at your sites pretty much proves that you're a liar. You don't work at some enterprise shop that just decided to go open source, you're a consultant that pushes open source.

From my original post:

> I'm currently consulting

Yes, very lie.

The remarkable thing is that I don't need to push anything (well, okay, I pushed Chef over Ansible, because for nontrivial setups you end up needing some sort of unified orchestration layer and at that point you might as well use the more mature Chef than Ansible Tower). The still-Windows shops I talk to are pretty unified in their desire to branch out into other languages and environments. That one in particular was sold and already well underway before they brought me on-board to help them through it. But, y'know. Whatever you want to believe, chief. :)

Let's quote the whole thing, shall we?

> I wonder why, then, the enterprise-by-any-reasonable-standard place I'm currently consulting is moving away from .NET and Windows...

This was in response to someone who said that Microsoft non-open .NET framework and Windows works really well for most enterprise shops.

Then you come along with your anecdote that "the 'enterprise' place I'm currently consulting at is moving away from Windows" as if that were some sort of trend that you just happened to be involved in.

I bet it's not even a typical enterprise. Tell the truth - it's a game company, right? Or something else that is equally non-enterprisey...
