If I were a weaker man, and there are plenty of weaker men, installing Windows would be the 'solution'.
So just to clarify, you are not a "weaker man" because you are choosing a tool that is more difficult to acquire & has no official support... for what purpose again?
Without knowing more about what the ultimate goal is, it seems like you are just being pig-headed & stubborn, pushing your own personal agenda / Windows vendetta over the priorities of The Company.
Is the goal of The Company to be a linux shop?
Or is it merely to have a working desktop environment to do their traditional office tasks (email, calendar, word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations)? If the latter, and you are advocating for linux workstations -- what's your justification? Lower cost of acquisition or lower total-cost-of-ownership (TCO)?
If you have calculated a lower TCO, are you including a fair & reasonable support cost for each option (esp if these are not tech-savvy office people)? If you are just doing this as a favor -- what happens to that TCO if you get hit by a bus and they have to hire/contract a 3rd party linux admin?
Not trying to say going linux on the desktop is wrong, by any stretch -- just that you should clarify the ultimate goals & priorities, and pick the right tool based on that. I would posit THAT is the sign of a stronger man - the right tool for the job.
