Well my webserver that i maintain is a Linux Apache Mysql Php box and I see absolutely zero reason to go back to Microsoft

I'll give two:
MySQL
PHP

Of course there's better DB & language options on Linux as well: FireBird and Ada come to mind.

I wrote my own MySql interface in Java. It works like a charm.

I don’t like PHP much, but Microsoft lockin is something i avoid like the plague. I don’t need that much PHP anyway.
