From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's not that they're lazy, it's a combination of not getting paid enough, and not having a reason to care.
If you were a high-level executive, I can bet you they'd at least make an effort to deliver something. Believe it or not, most people only do what's needed of them as per their job description (and that too, the bare minimum to meet the quota/standards), unless their boss tells them otherwise, or some exec shouts at them, or that they're actually passionate about something. If no one in IT is passionate about Linux, you'll never get them to accept it, regardless of how technically superior it is on paper.
