Not everyone runs license-limited software.

In fact, it looks like not even one of the world's top 500 supercomputers used a Microsoft OS in November 2016.

Most servers run Linux no?

Depends entirely on the workload being asked for....

Web servers are more than likely predominantly Linux.
Corporate servers are more than likely predominantly Windows
DB servers probably a split (depending on the size of the organisation)
