Hi all,
MS Windows was never conceived to be a server or an instrument host.
It has no advantage and all disadvantages compared to Linux on that
task.
First example: Lont-term support!
I am running a spectrometer on Windows XP, forcibly offline, and never
find the time to reinstall the system.
I have oscilloscopes and other stuff running Windows XP/Vista & Co.
All offline and nearly useless.
Society in general discards loads well working hardware every year
because the MS Windows inside discontinued support. It is insane.
In the year 2018 I had to shut down a 200MHz spectrometer installed in
the year 1991. It ran Unix on SGI gracefully for 27 years, last day as
good as first day. We shut it down due to the lack of space.
Further problems of Windows: viruses, fragility regarding all security
issues, constant reboots needed, institutional IT infrastructure
messing up with your system, licenses and costs etc.
One hast do admin, that each system is specialized on certain tasks.
For real work, Linux is superior.
Best!
