That's not completely true, at least it wasn't a couple years ago, 
despite Scott McNealy's decree.

I've known several different sales reps and SEs, all of whom went 
around with laptops running Windows.  The sales/mktg groups all 
communicated via Outlook (not an exchange server though!) and used 
Office.  Additionally, the VPN clients the sales/mktg people used
to access the corporate net from the internet was a Windows client,
therefore requiring a windows system.

Of course, with the acquisition of Star Office, this may have all 
changed since then, and maybe now the laptops are all running Linux 
with SO. (one can hope, anyway :)
