That doesn't sound right? I'd assume it is way higher.

W3Techs checks the top 10 million sites on the internet and they report something close to 1/3 Windows, 1/3 Linux, and 1/3 unknown Unix. My guess is that a fairly large chunk of unknown Unix is Linux.
W3Cook checks the top 1 million sites, and they report 2% Windows and 98% Unix.
These numbers will become even harder to pin down as Microsoft converts the Windows Server business to the Azure cloud.
Basically every brick-and-mortar business with more than a couple of computers has a Windows Sever domain controller and Exchange server in a closet somewhere. It does not generally host the website.
