The cost for windows isn't really a pressing concern for business--even startup business.
But the thing is if you go with windows, you're eventually going to have to support linux too just to get a the wealth of open-source codebases like say Redis. I mean its certainly possible to run Redis on windows via cygwin but you're 32-bit limited, and its a pain to actually install and get everything working.
On Fedora it's "yum install redis", and you're done.
