On what planet does nobody assert that Windows is a better
server host?  (let's face it, timesharing is a non-issue.)

You seem to be investing a lot of energy in debating the mouse
that is squeaking about FreeBSD being better than Windows on
the desktop, all the while ignoring the 800 pound-gorilla with
the big stick that has been devoting the majority of its
abundant resources over the past ten years in trying to make
Windows the dominant, or better still, the only operating system
for server applications.  And, some might even say, succeeding.

And yet, by you, "Microsoft is right, for the most part" in
divining their customer's needs and providing the right product.
