We have a fair bit of Linux and Windows in our environment. A key point 
for us is that Linux is *MUCH*MUCH* easier to recover from any sort of 
backups than Windows, especially if you don't have identical hardware to 
recover on. Remember that, in a disaster-recovery situation, one of the 
first things you'll need recovered is your master server.
