*Assuming *you or someone is *equally* comfortable with both operating
systems, and given my last 47 years experience with running computers,
I'd pick an open-source operating system every time. Windows is
poorly designed, and talking to people who worked on the design team,
they agree the design environment was chaotic, and not psychologically
or job-safe for people who had issues with design decisions.
We ran a literally life-and-death mission-critical hospital system on
Solaris, (admittedly a vendor product from Sun at the time) and it was
up for 630 days without a reboot or downtime, when we took it down to
move its location in the machine room. We had to cycle the windows
servers daily to keep them from dying from some ill-designed memory
leak, etc.
