That could be, that timeframe was long before I was that knowledgeable
about computers.
The fed gov department I worked for used MS's server program. This
department had mostly small units scattered across the country, and a
few overseas. It would be plausible, that when the IT guys in Timbuktu
needed onsite help with a local server, the familiar desktop interface
simply made it easier to get the job done.
Or, it was part of an overarching negotiating agreement on the purchase
price of X number of copies of Windows.
Or, a bit of both! LOL
