Honestly ... Windows servers aren't that expensive to run - they're not quite as lightweight as a Linux server can be, but they're not especially "expensive", either
The difference in a 4 CPU, 8 GB Windows box and a 4 CPU 8 GB Linux box is at most licensing ... but even that's minimal (commercial Linux support is basically the same cost as Windows)
