If you have people experienced in managing Windows, but not Linux, then it's less work to manage Windows servers.

You can learn how to manage Linux and then get even less work.

Anyway...

I was certainly not saying that there are not scenarios where it is better to go with windows servers. Things don't happen in a vacuum.

There's always a better solution for something that you can learn. But would it be better for everybody if the SO authors spent months learning Linux administration and non-.net web platform, or if they applied their existing knowledge to create SO immediately?

No, I just said it wouldn't be better... there are many scenarios where the best way to do something in one perspective is not the best seen from another perspective.
