Who uses ASP.Net?

I am preparing an advanced web development course based on ASP.Net. The first question coming to mind (and probably students want to know) is:

Who uses ASP.Net?

I did a quick research and below is part of the list:
Large company site:
  1. http://dell.com/
  2. http://www.costco.com/
  3. http://www.nestle.com/
  4. http://www.jcpenney.com/
  5. http://lego.com/
  6. http://match.com/
  7. http://www.monster.com/
  8. http://www.morningstar.com/
  9. https://chaseonline.chase.com/
  10. http://www.membershiprewards.com/
  11. http://www.atlanta-airport.com/
  12. http://www.newegg.com/
Governments, institutions, and non-profits
  1. https://etax.dor.ga.gov/
  2. http://access.wa.gov/
  3. http://www.toastmasters.org/
Microsoft affiliate websites
  1. http://bing.com/
  2. http://asp.net/
  3. http://www.codeplex.com/
  4. http://www.xbox.com/
Web application frameworks and products built upon ASP.Net
  • SharePoint
  • DotNetNuke
  • ASP.Net MVC
  • mojoPortal
  • Other smaller ones like: BlogEngine.NET, DasBlog, Gallery Server Pro, nopCommerce
Well, ASP.Net is not just used for websites; it is an enterprise capable technology that is used by many large companies for intranet use and enterprise application development, together with other technologies.
BTW, you can use http://web-sniffer.net/ to see the HTTP header returned from websites. Some of them tell what technology they are based on.
