Which do you prefer, Windows or Linux?

When it comes to running web hosting, I have always perferred and used Linux over Windows. I have had no performance problems and all our technicians say it is best for web hosting. However, in terms of Game Servers, I hear Windows is really good performance for that. Anyone else can confirm that?
 
I would like to recommend linux for hosting buisness because it is free of cost, stable and robust. It is user friendly and has a very good graphical user interface.
Windows is expensive & is used specially for personal or home use.
 
I use clientexec and have not had any problems with it yet. Maybe thats because so few of my clients choose to use it..

I would have to go with Linux for running a web hosting server, for a number of reasons:
1- There are lots of experts in Linux, finding an admin is easy.
2- Most dedicted server companies offer Linux servers.
3- Cliets love cPanel and fantastico, and those only come on Linux
4- hmm, because its the dominant hosting platform :thumbup:


Quoted for truth.

Fantastico and cPanel are great Linux only features.
