As Toke said, this is indeed debatable. I personally believe that Linux is better at almost everything, but if you're running a recent 64-bit Windows Server OS, you may not actually see a lot of difference. Microsoft has VERY talented people working for them, and even though I won't use it for most server applications, Windows is a very capable platform. If you ignore personal bias and proceed with the idea that Linux and Windows are approximately equal in terms of real-world performance, then one factor that might be critical is price. Linux can be installed for zero cost, a standalone bare metal Windows Server license is several hundred dollars, sometimes more. Thanks, Shawn
