I recommend Linux for 2 reasons : - easier to install and maintain a secured Tomcat (especially when using different TOMCAT_HOME & TOMCAT_BASE, on Windows it's pretty difficult to know how to secure all directories correctly) ; if you have to deal with file uploading, you don't want a system which could launch any exe,.. - doesn't need to reboot every 3 days because of the memory fragmentation or anything else
