Since the IT provider whose equipment you will choose shares the same interest - as a transporter - to make it to destination, why not consider the latter's dedicated native network infrastructures, made available to provide system support, as an opportunity to improve your computer management skills for as long as necessary and sufficient to understand the specific requirements of the underlying operating system? It would be like the French car manufacturers providing their customers with an exclusive "closed-circuit" (as part of their native "Intranet+") to enable the latter to test drive their cars (a Citroën, or a Peugeot, or a Renault) before pursuing their journey on the broader (multi-OS "Extranet+") highways shared by all motorists regardless of the brand of their vehicle.
