Yes... and why are people using those "countless single-purpose archaic unix servers"? Because Microsoft perpetuated this archaic model in the 1980's and 1990's when it decided to follow that model with NT, rather than any of the more modern approaches. Microsoft's lack of vision and innovation in the 1980's and 1990's is responsible for why we still program in C/C++ and use UNIX-like kernels.
It took Sun and the Java community to drive managed languages, garbage collection, and virtual machines into industry and server applications. It took Microsoft a decade to catch on to that one.
It's a good thing the enterprise IT market doesn't share your critical lack of vision.
You should be more concerned about your and Microsoft's critical lack of vision. Throughout its decades long history, every major Microsoft product has merely been a reaction to industry trends and either been cloned or acquired.
Given your passionate defense of Linux as somehow comparable to the Microsoft platform,
"Comparable" only in the sense that both of them are obsolete junk. But since I have to choose one or the other, I prefer the cheaper, simpler, open source junk.
I'm going to assume your time is pretty worthless to you
Anybody whose time is valuable would be a fool to run Windows: any serious computing on Windows is a bottomless time sink. On standard hardware, Linux just works.
