i work at a network hub for the army, and we have a sun server that runs part of the satellite comms. when the current company's contract expires, and GD takes over, everything's going to windows. in my last unit, the unix box we were using for battlefield awareness got replaced by a server 2003 box. *nix/everything except windows is slowly going away as time goes on.
