Seems you are not part of one of these organisations. That argument will not suffice. Try to estimate the cost associated with the shift: - Training - Less efficiency in a period - Missing important tools so a terminal service is needed - etc. The valid solution here would be to deploy a Linux server. But then your arguments suffer compared to other OS'es where everything is running on the users current host - why have the hassle with a Linux server.
