| Radio pretty much summed it up there. They use ASP.NET, PowerShell, Microsoft SQL Server, and a whole load of other Microsoft technologies. Also, Windows is generally easier to administer and debug, while Linux-based systems need a highly skilled professional to do that. |

And even Microsoft uses FreeBSD for a ton of their servers.
That says something right there.
And if they need a Linux professional they can hire one. |

@The
I'm not.
Windows just isn't as good as FreeBSD for server stuff. |

| Explain why you don't think it's good for a server. Don't like IIS? Stick Apache on it. |

| With Linux (or any other UNIX-like system) you can easily get awesome open source software for servers which is very refined. They all integrate well, too. SSH, VNC, MySQL, with nice tools specifically designed for remote servers. |

"Plus there's some things it can do that linux cannot"
And Linux can do some things that Windows can't do. |

But all those are 3rd party stuff that don't mix well together, and don't integrate with the actual OS.

I bet Linux can do that:
swfrender file.swf -o output.png

@myrkos It doesn't run the actionscript, such that is needed for rendering a 3D engine. It doesn't have flash vars, such that is needed for passing variables to actionscript.
It has VERY basic swf rendering. It simply gets what's already there, not what would be there if actionscript worked. |
