And do their personal preferences matter? You install what you need to
install in order to get the job done.

The answer is yes, if one is foolish enough (or forced) to use Windows as a
server platform [to cut down in the flame-fest, note that I am posting this
from a WinXP box using Outlook], then it is perfectly common to ship a java
webapp on a Windows box.

Gee, what a shock. Remember your first point: "We build the web app with
java because it is portable." Good idea. Stick with it.

Because some people treat operating systems like religions, instead of the
tools that they are.
