True if you are speaking about the custom built machines doing real time data analysis.

However, many users have Mac OS X and Windows as their desktop machines.

When I was there (2003-2004), quite a few researchers were even moving away from LaTeX to Word and FrameMaker.

There are a few ASP.NET servers at CERN.

I was at Tier1 (Fermilab). All the servers were Linux, and everyone's desktop was either a Mac or a Linux box.
