Do you reckon Microsoft Corporate runs its business on Windows boxes?
Forgive me if I doubt.

The factories that develop and manufacture the CPU chip you likely
have in your computer run on MSwin (formerly on various flavors of
Unix/Linux/***x). In an application where downtime costs US$2M
per hour, not a decision taken lightly.

The factory that developed and manufactured the CPU chip I have in my
computer was in Hudson, MA, and shut down in 2003.

The former DEC fab in Hudson is now Intel Fab 17 and is still running
(on MSwin, now :-)
