If you look in non-obvious places - ie. in the data centre, then it's going to be much much higher... All the boxes I host/manage remotely run Linux for example (but it's only 15 boxes on one site, and 3 in another) Last biggish "silicon gorge" company I worked for was 100% Linux behind the scenes (until they went corp-rat and wanted and exchange server *sigh*), so at the time it wa something like 14 or so boxes dedicated to infrastruction - main fileservers, etc. and dozens (might have been well over 100) which were their test & development boxes... And what about all those clusters out there - all running Linux... I still think Linux on the desktop is going be a slow comer, but behind the scenes - it's already the leader IMO.
