The startup I've been working at for the last 1.5 years has had the opposite experience, people are now flocking to linux, we're at just under 33% on linux. Also note 100% of development is using at least a virtualbox linux vm either way. I think a large part of it is that linux has finally gotten very usable on specific laptops (lenovo t series, Dell xps), and almost all of our internal tools are actually just external network endpoints that linux handles wonderfully (gmail, hipchat, github, etc). Also - recent Mac OS X updates have had serious stability problems for lots of my coworkers. Only negative? For a short period I put linux on my macbook air and that was a massive headache.
