50 Places Linux is Running That You Might Not Expect
Seriously? You'd have to have spent the past couple years on Mars to not expect it.

I'm glad to see 'Burlington Coat Factory' on the list. They opened one of these in my area about 4-5 years ago and first thing I noticed when going in there was all their systems ran Red Hat Linux, though it was version 5 (pre RHEL)... yeah I found an open terminal once and checked the version :-D They may have upgraded since then, it's been a year or more since I went in there.
Also lots of devices run Windows as well... here are just a few pics I've taken over the years with systems I've seen running Windows:

Lol @ samalex. I've seen a few of those windows kiosks that have crashed. Don't think I've ever seen any broken Linux machines, although I don't know if I've ever even seen a Linux kiosk.
