I am just curious, Google, Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo all run linux. How many do you know use Windows?

Well-Stack Overflow, Serverfault and all the other things Jeff Atwood is involved with runs Windows.

I've read that eBay's Java front end runs on Windows (and still runs on it due to general cluelessness; their capacity management problems have to do with the latter).

Writely used Windows and C#. (Google bought it in 2006, now it is Google Docs.)
