Are there performance issues with running the NetWorker server on a Windows
server?
Are there other problems or potential "issues" that others have experienced
in running NetWorker services (server, storage node, client) that I should
be aware of?

I'm going to be doing an upgrade from NetWorker v7.3.2 on Solaris 8 to
v7.4.x on new hardware.  I'm thinking of changing the OS to Windows Server 2008.

Out of curiosity, what OS platform are people using to host the NetWorker
server?
Windows (and what ver.)?
Linux (what distribution)?
Solaris (and ver.)?

Your time, effort and input is greatly appreciated.
