I grant you that my own preference is more for the *ix family of servers, but I've worked with Windows Server professionally since NT4 and my opinions of that family's quality and robustness are formed from 20 years of administering it, not personal preferences. Windows Server isn't going to "just go away" and if it did I'd be pretty unhappy since those servers run a bunch of my company's big business-critical applications.

Well, you seem pretty strident in your expectations about the quality of Microsoft's software on one hand, while being ambivalent about the need to keep your Linux servers patched on the other.

BTW, that glibc bug looks like a doozy.
