From: "Adam Flinton" 

I don't have to start with a non specific generalization I could simply
reverse your exmples to show the facile nature of your generalization.

e.g re NTFS How many Journalled File Systems has Windows got? XFS? JFS?
Ext3? ReiserFS?

So in simple journalled filesystem support  it's well known that Windows
has less functionality.

   Where do you want to start?  NTFS, ACLs, compression, EFS,
ActiveDirectory, integrated security, etc.  And this is without going
beyond the file system nor is it a complete list for just the file system.

  Gone on then specify what you mean by that last comment. Can you be
specific
  instead of hot air and hand waving?

  If you want to roll your own it can cost less for Linux, assuming your
time
  is worth nothing.  If you want to use a supported version, like from
RedHat,
  expect to spend much more for your annual subscription.  They will sell
you
  a subscription to red hat linux advanced server for $1499 per year.  If
you
  want their supported enterprise level web server you are going to pay
  another $395 to $895 annually.  That's more than four to six times more
  expensive than the Windows Server 2003 solution.

    Less functionality, higher cost. Ease of use is a draw, but it would
have
  to be even cheaper just for a web server.

         By what criteria and how so?

        That's not good enough to compete with Linux.
