Well... some of the private sector anyway.
I remember when I was working shipping and receiving we had a linux based program running on windows through some sort of compatability fix or something, either way the program would lock up every once and a while, and the stocknumbers were often wrong...
though the stock numbers being wrong was probably just due to workplace stupidity. (They did inventories during work hours when the store was open and the book buyer wasn't the best in the first place. I remember the time We ended up with 400 books for a course of 30.
