People don't realize how difficult it is.
Not only do you have to do a lot of feature replacement (getting off of teams and using zulip and jitsi. Getting off of outlook and using Zimbra. Using next cloud over whatever the hell Microsoft's version is)...
You also have to deal with all the Microsoft chucklefuck IT people who never touched a command line before. The push back I had in previous companies is lazy IT folks who don't want to learn anything their Microsoft certification didn't teach them.
Not to mention that windows domains fail gracefully. You can still format and reinstall if you want but most problems can be cleaned up as you limp along rather than taking the whole company down with a single server failure
