Re: Windows Server Costs More Than a Server (Score 1)

Of course, they are pushing Linux: The cost of Windows OS software is a significant percentage of the cost of a physical server. Most servers are dedicated to running a specialty product, so why spend money on tons of components that are not being used on that specific server anyway? A Web server just needs freeware Apache and it's far more secure than its IIS counterpart. Why buy COM+, .Net and all the other non-secure garbage you don't want?
