In a previous job we had a central master MSSQL database and several replicas of this database globally. This was all run on Windows (obviously) Were I still there, and were this arrangement still in effect, I would certainly be interested in migrating the installations on Windows to installations on CentOS, if only to make the server fleet that much more homogenous. So, to answer the question, to eliminate Windows server installations in a predominantly Linux environment, yes.

Cool, I've seen this mentioned as a potential reason, so it's good to hear of a real-world example

    No, but I am predominantly a SQL Server DBA. I thought people might think that after I posted.
