      Because Windows Server is the fastest and most scalable NFS 4.1 server with the best clustering on the market?

      The 90s called, they want their OS jihad back.

      I'd like any kind of decent server running entirely in memory. The fact that it's Microsoft, or Windows, is irrelevant. WinServer is actually pretty frickin' good. Not likely to tempt me away from my Linux and BSD farms, but if SQL Server or Oracle was my business, you bet I would be checking this out. All the OS and the data in RAM, all the time? Hell yeah.
