I’m taking the plunge and moving my home server from Linux to Windows. Usually people move the other direction, but after years of configuring every other distribution of Linux (which, in the end, Centos takes the cake), I’ve opted for compatibility and easy-of-use.

All the Linux fanboys are probaby shouting something to the effect of “You moron! You weren’t using Linux right if you think Windows is better!” Tell me this: Which OS of the three major players has DirectX? Compatibility with 95% of your hardware right out of the box? Every major software package from Adobe, Sony, Microsoft, ActiveState, Intuit and AutoDesk? When it comes down to itWindows is still number one.

What has yet to be seen is whether I stick with Server 2003 or go running back to Centos.
