That could be, that timeframe was long before I was that knowledgeable 
about computers.

The fed gov department I worked for used MS's server program.  This 
department had mostly small units scattered across the country, and a 
few overseas.  It would be plausible, that when the IT guys in Timbuktu 
needed onsite help with a local server, the familiar desktop interface 
simply made it easier to get the job done.

Or, it was part of an overarching negotiating agreement on the purchase 
price of X number of copies of Windows.

Or, a bit of both!   LOL
