Your prof is right though, at least for today and when you look at 
overall computer usage (perhaps not for whatever specific application 
your using for your class though).

Most businesses run Windows. Most software that businesses use runs only 
on Windows or occasionally the more expensive Unix workstations. I'll 
grant that there are many small tech based companies (like where I work 
;) that run heavily or exclusively on Linux but they are a small 
percentage of the overall market.

I think this will change eventually, but for most it hasn't yet.
