I would hope that IT directors do not have old, un-patched copies of Windows as part of their infrastructure. If they do, then the organization needs to replace their IT director, and whoever appointed them.

Over the last five years I have been a student at three higher education institutions. The enrollment instructions for each said I had to have Microsoft Windows (or Apple OS) and the Microsoft Office suite. I ignored this and used Linux with Libre Office. I managed to get through everything up to my last presentation, without my instructors noticing. It was only my last presentation where I could only get the webinar software to work with Windows.
