It is a rather big minority.

Java is not exactly Microsofts backyard, but a recent study showed
that Java EE projects was deployed:

Windows             57%
Redhat & Centos     35%
Suse                12%
Other Linux         16%
Solaris             18%
AIX                 14%
HP-UX                5%
Other                7%

(it adds up to more than 100% because some projects
targets multiple platforms)

For .NET the Windows percentage is approx. 100%.

That is a lot of Windows servers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems#Servers

gives the same picture.
