Most machines will hardly run without acpi. Well, I'm fairly sure that most of the systems running linux (or some variant like uclinux), do not support acpi. Linux is used a lot in embedded systems (like routers and NAS-es and probably set-top boxes). I guess the # of embedded systems with some linux flavour on it is substantially bigger than the desktop systems. Most of these are ARM or MIPS based and do not support ACPI.
