Most large enterprise systems have moved to browser based web applications.
There has been a big push for developers to move away from Windows and create
"appliances" that run as VMs with some flavor of Linux under the hood.

If the organization can get to web only applications, they no longer require
Windows.  No doubt this isn't reality yet - but if M$ pushes organizations to
the cloud, the "Plan B" approach will happen much quicker.
