I deal with clients who use all variations of windows OSs.  I've
previously worked for a large company who used both Unix and Windows
servers.  In every case, the Windows boxes were/are more susceptible to
simply locking up or crashing.  When your only resolution is to power
cycle the server, you're going to trash your database.  I've seen it on
xp, nt, 200?...

I don't do development on Windows boxes anymore.  It's just too
frustrating with the stability issues.
