The number of times I've seen enterprises deploy Windows servers running Java on them is probably equal to the times I've seen it in production on Linux. Windows system administrators are easy to find in enterprise space and the process of keeping them fed and happy is really cut and dry compared to the myriad of options (read: ways to fail when you're as dysfunctional as most F500 organizations) on a UNIX variant. When you have both Java and C# developers but don't want to spend the money on both Linux and Windows computer janitors, your pick Windows for standardization of OSes, not Linux.
The lack of choice is liberating for enterprises constantly in a state of analysis paralysis over every random software requirement that could sink their ball of twine software stacks.
