Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control uses Linux for running large scale 
digital simulations, computational fluid dynamics and various hydrocodes. A 
few people are figuring out that applications like Matlab/Simulink run faster 
on Linux than Windows and are migrating to Linux.

Like most other companies, the normal desktop environment is defined to be 
Windows XP with the Microsoft Office suite connected to a Microsoft Exchange 
server. There are a few of us iconoclastic curmudgeons who refuse to succumb 
and use Linux as our normal Desktop.
