A lot of valid reasons here. #7 is a big one. Most companies adopt equipment their IT departments are familiar with. The IT people are usually gamers, and gaming is done on Windows. So they know windows.

Another big reason: Active Directory Domain Services. You simply do not get the same kind of centralized management of your workstations in your company on Linux that you can get with AD. Any solution that would give you a similar level of admin-level management would likely be custom built and expensive.

All of our Linux servers are fully integrated into AD.

Under the covers AD is BIND.
