It's not going to cost them much at all really, developers time because they want a EU Specific feature set on a Linux Distro, although it's unknown which one they are going to use as a base, but Linux is free, then they are going to a version of Libre Doc's or Open Office to replace Microsoft Office.

This is all because Microsoft refuse to strip the telemetry and Ai from Windows for Governmental agencies, even the likes of Virgin Media, TalkTalk, BT etc are going to move to Linux or Mac because Microsoft are insistent on collecting data from them that they legally shouldn't be obtaining.

Part of one of the ISO xxxx standards, I cannot remember which one there is so many, but part of it is that in order to provide services to specific services, you cannot have that data sent abroad, it cannot leave this Country, and Microsoft are basically saying "What ever you do on your pc using our operating system, will be sent back to us", so in order to comply with that ISO standard, soon companies will be forced to switch to Linux or Mac.

Just a little out take from an article "the extent of collection—which can include search history, app usage, location data, and typing habits—has raised major privacy concerns"

Linux and Mac Os is already taking market share from Microsoft, we just need it to ramp up and take about 30%, then we will see changes at Microsoft.
