as an office worker... i use linux, a bunch in my team use apple's OS. i'd say it's only about half of my team that still uses windows, trending downwards. but in general i'd probably agree that more than 72% of office workers use windows, just definitely not all of them and i'd expect it to keep trending downwards if m$ doesn't change course.
Even places like CERN used to have an IT policy that you're on your own if not using Windows or Mac.
Even when they co-designed Scientific Linux alongside Fermilab, and all the servers were on Linux, moving away from Solaris.
Speaking as one of the beta testers, back in 2004.
Your employer must have the nicest IT on this planet.
Bringing a different OS to a company is almost impossible.
All the cool companies I've worked for have had options. The coolest ones even allow you to use linux.
Willing to name some? The only big co I've worked at that wasn't a startup was Red Hat, which made linux a first-class option, but I don't fully count them :-D
