I voted linux because that is what kinda server I manage on. Windows for steam unless the optimized the binaries.... Linux For WON...

lol..

LINUX Rules!!!

Linux mdk9.2 but wait for real optimised binaries from valve to cause less cpu usage.

[Johnny got his gun]

Linux/windows seems to keep close to 50%, and has been so for a long time...

whats more interesting is steam vs won. how many are still running won... make a poll! :_)

I wouldn't trust Windows to run a dedicated server. Hell I wouldn't trust windows to run my IRC client! Too bad vavle didn't release a linux version of Counter-Strike... I have to use WineX to get it working...
So... I voted for Linux.
I run my dedicated server + lan router on Fedora Core 1 with the nptl kernel and glibc 2.3 ... it's WAY faster then any other windows machine... I can't wait for Fedora Core 2 with a 2.6 kernel... that will speed up things!

Better not say what I use or else MagicShot might attack...

Never ever use Windows for server, ever. Use Linux, usually for the uptime of a Linux server is 3 figure day, like 300 days uptime and for a windows server? Not more than a month under my experience.

[Hangman5386]

I use Linux for any server. I'm fully satisfied with these and I like it much more than Windows ...

[Bad HAL 9000]

After running a linux server i cant go back to windows... I just dont think I could do it.
