Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan is running a Multics MR12.2 
system.  I still log in occasionally :-)

It's a nice system, but it tends to bog down.  There are plans to eliminate
it to recover floorspace for a newer system.  Lately users have been
migrating over to VMS and Unix systems, but the Multics still has the
best PL/1 compiler on campus and some of the software on it still isn't
available for any other machine.

The new Multics releases even support Unix style pipes and file redirections
from the command processor!
