    The great thing is that others help them with the squeezing. Migrating a modern, manufacturing company to OSS alternatives in the backend is somewhat possible but labour intensive, in the frontend, nope, won’t happen. Way too much software, from CAD to extremely task specific stuff will only work when there MS beneath it.
