I spoke with a Google sys admin a few months ago. He said he had a MacBook and a Lenovo Thinkpad with Ubuntu. It was in the news a while ago, that they only use Mac or Ubuntu. Any Windows OS has to have some type of signoff from management.

That's what I've heard too. Also, according to this article, 70% of the laptops run OS X and 30% run Ubuntu. Most desktops are Linux, though.
