Windows NT eclipsed Novell Netware for small-to-medium-sized business server usage by the late 90s, and today there still exists many, many businesses that use Windows 2008, 2012, and 2016, so I'm not sure what you're talking about with the "no-starter" comment.
- Yetanfou 8y agoThat is a file server and intranet server you're talking about. I'm talking about the type of server which most people around here think of when they contemplate the word 'server' - an internet-facing server, often living in a herd of such in some remote facility. Running Windows NT and its successors for file and domain services is doable and probably a good choice for those who have standardised their office environment on everything Microsoft. Outside of that environment, not so much.
- TimJYoung 8y agoYet, again: many, many businesses do just that (run Internet-facing Windows Server installations). You're failing to account for the fact that using Windows everywhere allows firms to leverage their codebases and developer expertise throughout their organization.
