If you think Windows Server isn't running in 40% of data centers, have I got news for you.

I don't like it very much, but every single small-to-medium non-IT company I have seen runs on Windows. Sometimes they require Windows specifically because of third-party software (SCADA/industrial automation for example), more often it's just that Windows is the "default" that people know and use, due to network effects.
Indeed - it doesn't take much to be in a datacentre. One server in thousands could be running it and it's "in the datacentre".
