It’s much more impressive to think that free and open-soruce Linux has managed to make its way onto American nuclear submarines, CERN, the most powerful supercomputers in the world, and many servers.  Linux got to the top of supercomputing and servers not by throwing money around but by sole merit of its traits and quality of its design.  If Linux was funded and backed completely by some billion dollar company, the achievement is much less respectable.
