OH, all right. 

LIC and Canara Bank are big RedHat shops.

The backend for mail.com, usa.com, register.com,.... is production
boxes running Linux. As are user desktops, and laptops. This isn't R&D,
this is $$$ territory. 

Oh, and ms.com uses Linux in production. Those people definitely know about
generating profits.
