In large companies everyone will be using the same OS (and quite often 
the same machine, e.g. Dell), as it is then easier to support. And if 
you are going to choose one OS, it is going to be Windows, isn't it.

So it is customer-demand (mainly developers). The world is now built on 
open source projects, so it is just Microsoft being pragmatic.
