I work in healthcare IT. EHR clients [...] run only on Windows.

OpenEMR doesn't. I also do some work in healthcare too for a small office. (Though admittedly not a lot at all). Paying a license (for support) to an opensource works for my client. It's opensource so I know it's not going away... and openemr is completely browser based as far as client goes.

Getting locked into these bullshit softwares is half the battle though when it comes to corporate shenanigans.

Edit:

I, optimistically, think this is a moot point for businesses. The goal is to get consumer data to sell not lose business purchases.

I dunno... Some of this shit is leaking into the business/server side. More and more stuff appears that nobody asked for.

OpenEMR doesn’t.

Also eClinicalWorks doesn't either, as it's also entirely cloud based. It does require (a user agent string that says) Chrome though.

And yes, I'm not worried about the computers I control; it's the ones we connect to that I don't which concern me.
