How do you think CRM's are run? All on Windows Server machines. As I said. I am sure some of the larger companies in adult have in-house windows servers running these kind of applications. But in corporate america, this is all that is used. Unix only exists for trading platforms and high-latency stuff. But most business applications run off of windows. They sell plenty. I probably sold 500+ windows server licenses myself last year. There is also Microsoft Exchange. Pretty much the only mail server used in corporate america. If you are a hospital or a bank and you have to conform with some kind of compliance. They have to do email archiving etc. This is all Microsoft Exchange. Then there are people who use Terminal Services for remote workers, and anyone who is running Citrix, which is millions of companies, have to have windows servers with terminal services licensing. They sell plenty . They are out there, and in corporate america they are the 800 lb gorilla.
