I like Windows as much as the next guy, but if Linux was working well for
you, there simply isn't that much system maintenance required for
web/application servers to warrant a wholesale change.

I guess if you have to install a new version of CF, it's not as big a deal
to switch OSs, but it's one more thing that you'll have to test.

Switching from hardware to software load balancing? That's crazy talk.

Unless you're running CF in multiserver mode already, that may be the
biggest significant change, apart from the load balancing wackiness.
