As an avid Mac user and frequent Windows-basher, I'm as eager as the next guy to jump in and trash Windows. However, at my company I have absolutely no say in what we use for our servers, and we're using Windows Enterprise 2003. After suffering through NT 4 and 2000, even though it pains me to do so, I must admit Windows 2003 is a big step in the right direction. Yes, you have to keep a close eye on patches, and yes you have to run it on beefier hardware than you might with Linux, but it's incredibly stable compared to its predecessors. I only ever reboot our servers when required by a patch. Granted that's pretty often, but whereas CF on W2K demanded pretty constant attention to keep it running, I never have to worry about our Windows 2003 boxes.
Just thought I'd chime in and say if you're stuck with Windows, make sure to upgrade to 2003.
