How does using Windows lock a business? What freedom does Linux give you that you can't get with Windows under normal every day use? An admin shouldn't be messing around with the innards of the OS regardless of Windows or Linux. The majority of our problems have actually been with the 3rd party software, not Windows itself, which we have service contracts with and they resolve the problems that we would not have been able to anyway, within the hour.
Microsoft is indeed a business, but what makes them SO much worse than RHEL and them selling their service? The fact that they are Linux? Please, don't be so shallow. I am still waiting for even a single good argument against windows.
I do admit Windows has a higher demand on a system vs Linux. This is because Windows is designed to support basically everything out of the box. If you have a tailored OS for a specific task, naturally it will work better. Windows can be configured to be very damn reliable if you put in the time, just like Linux.
And to put on record, I do use Linux at work. A debian based system along side several Raspberry Pi's. And it way my decision to use Linux despite Windows being able to do what I needed. So I am not against Linux at all. I am just tired of the baseless hate towards Microsoft and Windows for no justifiable reason. If you don't like it, fine, but quit bashing it like its the damn anti-christ when its not.
I dare you to switch to windows then ...

TAKE CHANCES. TELL THE TRUTH. KISS SLOWLY. DATE SOMEONE TOTALY WRONG FOR YOU.
SAY NO. LOVE DEEPLY. FORGIVE QUICKLY. SPEND ALL YOUR CASH.
GET TO KNOW SOMEONE RANDOM, BE RANDOM. SAY I LOVE YOU. SING OUT LOUD.
FORGET THE PAST. REMMEMBER WHAT IT TOUGHT YOU. LAUGH AT STUPID JOKES.
CRY. APOLOGIZE. TELL SOMEONE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU.
TELL A JERK WHAT YOU THINK.LAUGH TILL YOUR STOMACH HURTS.
Yes ok, no admin solves every problem, but you have to admit that you have a much bigger chance of solving the problem if you are not locked in some proprietary crap.
And of course you have to pay for the RHEL support. What amazes me is how serious business can run MS software for thousands of dollars, pay for the support, and then put their whole business into the hands of some code they do not have full access to, have a fragment of the number of devs compared to Linux, and that takes ages to patch, because MS is busy laughing their way to the bank.
Now, instead of getting MS software, let me bring in the money it would take to bring in full time server managers, database engineers, and programmers for the database. You have no base to put your argument down, your argument has already crumbled.
Now, guys, you can not bring in serious MS software business server crap into a freaking MINECRAFT server, the servers you guys are talking about is way different than this minecraft server, it does not matter what freaking OS you use. While we are arguing about how pointless windows is or isn't why not bring in freaking Fedora? People, stop freaking arguing about something that does not matter at all, this is a Minecraft server, not a million dollar server business.
Short and simple - It... Does... Not... Matter... It is a MINECRAFT SERVER. Not a multi-millionaire business.
Nothing , you keep forcing windows for servers, althou you did say it is more resource houngry, so common sence is on side of Linux/Unix solutions. Now to add to that these a bit more of sauce: set-up 2 same hardware, one set-up windows server, other linux server, run both with MC Server. measure time from scratch to complete solution, then measure how good it hosts MC server... until then there is nothing you can say that will make me accept windows as even a server platform, asides maybe for grannies drinking tea on the porch.

Can you guys quit bickering about which OS is the best? You can basically run a Minecraft server on any OS that can run java. And sticking to OP's discussion, danielsuarez, you can. I think that the hardware could handle it.

I do use Windows... What are you trying to prove?

Well then step into conversation yourself and give us valid points of view.
I belive i made my point with this reply already:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/support/server-support/2471034-can-i-host-a-professional-lag-free-server-on-this?comment=15
But hey i am not opposing different ideas, i did have backed up mine with actual tests, and practical implementation.
No just no
False.
