Oh yes. I have been much surprised to see Windows used in such a sensible lab
as Sandia. In our lab which has absolutely nothing to hide, you have hard time
finding a Windows machine. We have a vast majority of Linux boxes and the
rest is Macs. As far as i know it is basically the same in the other physics
labs of our university. Usually a single Windows box to fill the crap
Word documents coming from time to time, but now OpenOffice is sufficient to
do the job.
