Where did you hear this?

Can't remember, but I seem to have a picture in my head of Bill Gates
looking sheepish when confronted.

Can't be true.

What is true that MS probably runs more Linux by accident than most run on
purpose, what with competitive studies and all.

There might be over 15,000 people working on XP, Vista, and the new system.
They have to be running what they are programming if for no reason but
testing. Once you have even a barely functional new OS, that is what you
run because it optimizes your debugging of it. There are *only* about
30,000 MS people in Redmond, so "almost entirely Linux" just can't be true.
