There are also many Paid For versions of Linux
As well as those mentioned above there is Red Hat Enterprise who in conjunction with IBM claim to have fixes available for faulty Code in 48 Hours. Try asking for something similar from Microsoft and see what happens.

Then Mandriva, SUSE, Zoron and Solaris just off the top of my head without actually looking. However with most you get the software free and pay a Support Contract though this varies with the different Distro's and soem actually are Pay For with Different Features than the free versions.

Besides there is always Unix which is a Paid For System and has been around since before Windows though like back in the days of Main Frames most companies these days do not want to employ Programmers to write their own Applications which are then unique to the business.
