    In our
    company we have 75 linux desktop and 73 win32 desktops,

It would be better to say, 75 GNU/Linux desktops and 73 Windows desktops.

Calling the system "GNU/Linux" gives credit to the GNU Project
(including GNOME) where it is due.  See
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html.

Also, if you call Windows a "win", you are praising it.  If you don't
want to praise Windows, it's better not to call it a "win".
