Just about every government and business. I'm guessing you've never had a job in IT.

Terminal servers, sccm, SQL, software that's only available for Windows. Companies and governments don't consider ideology when they choose a platform. They consider "what do I need to run this product" and "what's the TCO". Most larger orgs will have a healthy mix of windows and *nix servers and often a separate team to manage each.
