At some companies yes. However, having talked to Microsoft developers, how much I dislike the Microsoft APIs for development, the sheer size of the new code base, and other things I really dislike about how the OS and kernel are put together, and the Microsoft way of approaching things by compromising in bad ways (IMO), I just don't trust Microsoft to get anything right.
Anyway, my comment was mostly about choosing well tested software rather than picking latest-and-greatest.
