There are a number of differences between running Unidata on Unix vs.
Windows.  Performance and everything else as stated not withstanding, one of
the gotchas that always seems to surprise people is that on Unidata on Unix
if you have a DIR-type file you can write records into it with a "*" in the
name.  On Windows, that write will fail.  This is a particularly interesting
problem with EDI, which seems to use the * in a number of contexts.  Of
course, the * can appear in the data just fine.  It just cannot appear in
the key.

I find Unix (and variant) systems significantly easier to administrate as
well, with the exception of printers which can be a bit of a hassle.
