>How many Fortune 500s are mainly Windows? Front end or back end? Because the backend hasn't been windows in most places for a very long while.

  You would be surprised. Yes Linux dominates, but there are many millions, easily billions of windows backend servers

    You think there's "easily" the same order of magnitude Windows Server backend machines in the world as there are humans in the world?

      I think they're way off with billions. I do think there are a mountain of AD servers out there though. Not sure I care to quantify exactly how many makes a mountain. but I'd think 2 commas for sure. more than a million? less than 100 million? that seems like the right ballpark.

        And Windows with Hyper V can also be found in the Backend of many shops with JTL et al being mostly windows focused.
