The German government and Amazon mainly. Germany has been phasing out at various levels of bureaucracy XP for Ubuntu, and Amazon uses it a lot now.

ummm didn't they abandon that and moved back to Windows finally? http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/german-open-source-exper...

Don't know about Amazon but its just a small software company that is known to be stingy to its own people

In this context? No. PC sales per year a few hundred million. Amazon total headcount 100K (including warehouse workers)

In case you didn't bother to read the parent comment, the user was referring to Amazon forcing its users to install Linux instead of Windows.
