The answer is simple:
"When everything is open, why do we need windows or gates"
Linux is the way to go!
It is available for free and has all the features as windows and implemented more better than windows!
If you want a comparison between linux and windows goto:

It really depends on your skill level, and what you need the server to do. Personally, I prefer a Windows server because it is generally easier to use, and is better for my needs. If you are looking for a stable, easy to use operating system, I would recommend Windows. However, if you need something more advanced, go with Linux. Also, Linux would probably be better for a web server. It is good with internet security, and is a pretty fast OS. However, if you are running game-servers and such, Windows would be your best-bet. Overall, there is going to be a lot of debate over which one is better. Everyone is going to say something different, but in my opinion, they are both good operating systems. It really depends on what you want your server to run. I put links to a few articles on this matter in the "Sources" area.

linux is the best server. A person who has good knowldge in linux they can only dare to tuch the linux sytstem it its high end security server.
windows cannot provide file level security and one can see the files but linux provides file level sercurity so its very secured than windows .u will get free updates from linux.
u can access any other language operating sysestm like windows novell sun solaris

Best OS - LINUX
With Windows u don’t have flexibility.
Past, Present and Future = LINUX
