Generally you canīt compare Windows and Unix.
From the first time on, UNIX was concepted as a Server OS.
Windows is an Personal COmputer OS . Microsoft just added some server features to windows server edition.

Windows = Singleuser, "Multitasking"

UNIX = Multiuser, Multitasking

As an Webserver I would prefer a Sun UltraSPARC box running Solaris (8 or 9) or you get an (Dual-CPU) x86 Linux Box running Debian.
