Well, where I work, Linux is the standard on all machines- servers (10+) and desktops (270+). Has been for decades. And I am not even counting the switches, routers, door control system, HVAC control, electronic signs, sensors, access points, etc, all of which also run Linux. We do have a few MS-Windows VM's for a few edge cases.

We used Unix before Linux, so it was a natural progression that never included MS-Windows. No desktops have ever been MS-Windows. Not that we haven't had challenges. But zero regrets.

Companies don't spin off business lines into independent subsidiaries when they foresee lots of profits in the future... this is what they do when they're trying to cut their losses.

In other words - IBM is basically cutting their losses with regards to quantum computing. They may technically keep the unit alive, but they're gonna tighten expenditures significantly.
