.NET came in 2001, to be more precisely yes.

Until then it was all about ASP, Outlook, and SMB shares, nothing else.

All big stuff was on UNIX.

Again, when talking about the server room.

From 1999 to 2003, I was doing project delivery across Aix, Solaris, HP-UX, Windows NT/2000, so I might have an idea of how our customer based actually had their server rooms configured.

Likewise the university campus was wired to DG/UX, Solaris, eventually Red-Hat came into the picture as DG/UX server died.

Computer labs desktops were a mixture Windows 9X, NT, Mac and some lucky professors had a couple of NeXT Cubes, which they eventually replaced by Red-Hat (before Apple's aquisition).

So to each their own 1990's anecdote.
