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.
