Linux is an open source system that supports a wide range of software, applications, languages, and databases such as PHP, Perl, MySQL and many others making it very scalable. On the downside, Linux is not fully compatible with most of the Microsoft technologies so if you are using Access, ASP, MS SQL, or VB development tools then Windows is better.
The main "advantage" or distinction of Windows servers is that they can run Microsoft software such as Access and MS SQL databases. Windows servers also offer web developers the use of Microsoft's programming environments such as Active Server Pages (ASP), Visual Basic Scripts, MS Index Server.

Users can develop web site using the familiar interface of Microsoft tools such as, Visual Interdev, and Microsoft Access. With ASP users can develop a database-driven web site using Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL as the database.
