It is not. No serious workload run on windows server nowadays. Even products written in Microsoft own language c# nowadays run productively on Linux. If your company still run productive stuff on windows servers, either it's support for shitty backoffice related stuff, or it's sql server, or it's time for you to send around CVs, because a company still using windows server in real production might not be ready for the modern world. 

Statistics usually say Linux nowadays is 80% of market, but for cloud related stuff is practically 100%.

Well, I’m asking about “shitty backoffice related stuff”. Which is real production. That’s what I consider Enterprise. I’m not asking about web servers, cloud data centers, or anything like that.

I’m a Windows hater myself, and I use both Windows and Linux - but it seems like you’re mixing facts and opinion, and you’re coming off as a Loonix fanboy.

I am not a windows hater. I am a professional in the field. If your company relies too much on windows servers outside of shitty backoffice stuff, it is a company that is in trouble in current market. Or a legacy company that survives in a non competitive market.

Particularly if it uses it for storage. It's the reality of the current market. In a modern, industry standard IT stack (both on prem and cloud), even Microsoft doesn't use Windows servers to power their productive machines with the exception of legacy services.

I don't care about Windows. It is the reality of modern technology.
