For many years, and in so many companies, the policy has been the opposite.

All company laptops must have windows, anything else needs to be vetted by the IT admin.

Now that the Edge browser works fine on Linux, there's really no need for all these licenses, and someone needs to start to break the unhealthy dependency every company has on Active Directory.

Yep. I find it kind of surprising that this is news. There are so many companies where nothing but Windows is allowed, but not allowing Windows in one corporation with a major Microsoft-owned competitor is the issue?
