Not to mention the far, far better chance of avoiding filesystem corruption compared to Windows (ext4 vs NTFS is a HUUUUGE difference). That's just a small, but significant, bit of a large number of differences that make Linux a far better server. (TCO, flexibility, support, and on and on, etc.)
I'm not saying you are workng nor are you right. So from you perspective and possibly even your cooperation. I'm definitely not saying you are right. But there are other organisations with other demands and views of the world and some of the prefer Windows. Why is that? Ask yourself that question...

And to the newly appointed moderator that just laughs at my disc phone. You will see it int the future. You can connected it to your arm as a watch, connect it to your car or your nfc/BT headset, even to you cloths.

It will rule the world. Everything will not always be as you sees it today. Think the impossible and you will probably be more right.

A big one. IT will come as much smaller and thinner when you sees it for real.
