"Not long ago, choosing Linux in the data center meant a tradeoff. You had to give up some capabilities in exchange for freedom from Microsoft lock-in. But that has changed. These days the features of Windows and Linux stack up against each other very competitively. For the most part, administrators can choose Linux or Windows today without losing out. Some differences, however, must be considered. In this article, I look at several of those differences."

windows is backwards from Linux, its just different.
where as linux is comannd line first, Gui second.
windows is gui first comannd line second.
also:
in windows, if your a scripter. you can script anything. and i mean anything. anyone who tells you you can not automated it, is a fool.
you can choose from, .bat, .cmd, .vbs, Perl, python
and soon powershell,
tho, perl and python have to be installed.
with gui first, you can easily delagate admin tasks, to other groups that may not be technical, like account management and have them do it via gui.
ps: note: many of these can also be done in Linux via sudo and other tools
