The Windows server software package, which is professionally designed by Microsoft for profit, has some compelling advantages. Compared with open source Linux, which is more or less developed and supported by the community, pay for your services and get better support. Windows customer support, as expected, is through Microsoft and its resellers. Your Windows applications (Outlook, Office, etc.) will immediately integrate with the Windows server. If you use Windows software and services, it is necessary to run them on the native platform. If you are running a Microsoft SQL-based database backend, it will not run on a Linux server unless you install a Windows emulator. To do this, you must separately purchase copies of Windows and database software. Windows Server is generally considered a quick and easy complete solution. If you want remote desktop access through an intuitive graphical user interface, Windows can provide this functionality without the command line programming required by Linux. Does your business need scripting frameworks like ASP and ASP.Net? ASP or Active Server Page is a web page containing small embedded programs (ie scripts). Scripts and web pages developed from these programs will only run on Windows servers. The Microsoft server processes these scripts before loading the page for the user. For Linux, this is impossible.
