There are probably at least 50 companies in the US alone with estates larger that 100,000 (including the likes of Verizon, ATT, EDS, IBM, Northropp Grumman, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, HP, Bank of America, JP Morgan, Citigroup, General Electric etc etc. In the UK we have Royal Dutch Shell, BP, Rolls Royce for example.
You said 250,000... 100,000 is quite a bit less...
Do some research...
Some of the American companies are large, granted, can't find figures on how many computers they have, as for your UK companies...
BP = 80,000 employees worldwide (11,000 UK) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bp
Royal Dutch Shell = 102,000 employees worldwide (8,600 UK) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Dutch_Shell
Rolls Royce = 38,900 employees worldwide (21,000 UK) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_plc
More than 6 desktop computers per employee at Rolls Royce sounds....
Excessive.
