I can't really add to that one but I do know that many at Cisco turn old Cisco gear into Linux workstations.

When one of the senior executives from Bing Search visited my university for a talk, they personally told the director of the computer science department that they envied the fact that the director could use a 27-inch iMac at work, whereas they could only use one at home.

The head of bing search is not ever going to be in position to issue an emergency patch for windows. They are far more likely to cause such a situation than resolve one.
