I left some room for myself with "a good reason" :)

When company is forcing you to use something out of inertia, then it's probably not for a good reason.

Actually regarding the "global scale" – I'm not really sure it's true, I think MS has influence mostly in US. Many EU and Asian companies I worked with were using OSX/Linux.

I'm in the EU and (nearly) every company runs windows (on desktop). Especially in larger organizations (there's plenty of windows servers still).
