Lovely :) But ok. It was win-server vs linux. At this time must've been WIN-NT or 2003. Both actually way better than their consumer OS.

NT4 was solid operationally. Stability was close enough. NT4's Deskop manager was more professional but rather inflexible.

Apache in Linux was superior to NT4+IIS in every way.

NT4 could run Exchange which was generally better than unix mail.

Most of the reason we ran Windows servers was because we knew Windows. The whole compile your stuff and stay on top of deps was beyond normal for the time.

Most of the reasons for me were lazyness. Everything was based on a win-domain and I never bothered giving that up 😁 But now I'm left with one 2022-server and 20 mixed Linux.
