Ask HN: Which enterprise companies use Unix and Unix-like operating systems?

2 pointsby manuelmagicabout 1 year ago
I was wondering who uses Unix or Unix-like operating system at enterprise level.<p>The Fortune 500 Company I work for completely decommissioned HP-UX and AIX many years ago.<p>Are there big companies that uses *BSD, Solaris or derivatives today? If yes, why? Is it only legacy or there are specific reasons?
