Microsoft is banking on enhancements to what it has dubbed the fundamentals to entice enterprises to upgrade to the next version of Windows, known as Vista. The company will use upcoming industry shows to sing the praises of improvements to the Windows networking stack and secure networking techniques such as server and domain isolation to sell both Vista and Longhorn, the planned update to Windows Server.

Hotmail ran on FreeBSD when Microsoft bought it. They did finally manage to convert it to Windows though. But they did have problems for a while getting Windows to handle the kinds of loads that FreeBSD handled with relative ease.

Hotmail ran on linux servers for a bit I think. But of course, Microsoft bought Hotmail and ended up making the transition to windows.
Also, Microsoft sometimes relies on a third-party for content delivery (akamai I think?) which may have servers that run on *nix.
