What do you see as a problem here? He's saying he has no choice about
using Windows in a particular network. That's not unusual. Most
companies bigger than three or four people have IT policies, not always
sanely based. In purely practical terms, all the workstations in a
company might be identical, all running Office, so that anyone can work
anywhere. There might be a third-party security compliance procedure
that excludes other operating systems, deliberately or otherwise. And
so on...
