I still use Linux for servers, though. It is so fast and easy to set up any type of server under Linux. You also can't beat the price. ;) The other night I installed Debian, and set up a MySQL database, phpmyadmin to manage it (involves installing php and Apache web server), and transferred my minecraft server over in like 30 minutes ( excluding the time it took to download everything).
I would like to say that this linux server is still up and running beautifully. Only issues I have is that when the computer shuts off due to some sort of external condition, it likes to corrupt files that are somewhat important to the operation of my server. I dont know if this is the ext4 filesystem or what, but that never has been an issue on my windows computer. On the upside, the Debian server is extremely stable. Whenever I need to do something in a desktop environment I load of XFCE and it still stays as stable as ever. When I am done with my work I just unload everything I used to free up those resources. Can't really do that with windows server, which is why I really like using linux as a server.
Still, I will never ever use linux as a desktop environment. Im currently using OSX, which I think is a perfect blend of windows usability and unix control. Only thing I dont like about OSX is that every program is programmed in objective c which means that the runtime environment handles everything, which can lead to heavy lag every now and again. Linux is a lot faster, but it doesn't have that solid commercial support. Whenever I run linux in a desktop environment I feel like I am running a hack on top of a hack on top of a hack, all of which were written by different people. Things do work, but the whole process of getting things to work and operate correctly isn't as smooth as it should be.
