These day, at least:
So - I work on an Apache server that installed on Win Server2008R creating web applications that work on essentially every system with a browser.

As was said, some years ago when Linux was on the rise, by a sage of a TV Pundit.
What O/S would win the contest he asked? What would the user's prefer?
His replay was that to the user it didn't really matter - if they can click their icons and run their applications, what do they care what's underneath?

The rise of smart-phones O/S's (and concomitant decline in humanity) show he was right-on the mark.

Thank all the appropriate deities I don't have the accursed "FaceBook Gene"
