Windows Server is a resource hog!

[Quiver]

I've used Windows Server in the past and, compared to Linux, it just devours the server resources. With Linux you can have databases, emails, and files all on the same server without it having too much of a negative impact. But on windows, you really need separate servers for all 3 services. Also compatibility with many website scripts causes a problem for most people. It's getting better, but Linux is the way to go right now (I think). Anyone else care to share an opinion on this?

I have never actually used Windows Hosting but I would really like to try one out.

Although i don't like linux for personal reasons, i have to agree. Windows Servers do take up a lot of resources and in the end it would be smarter to have 10 linux servers rather than having 10 windows servers. Most people i know, if they need Windows or Linux Servers for a company they are working on most of them go with linux in the end.
