Cost

That's what I'm placing my money on. Facebook has 60k servers, what's the license cost on that vs. Linux?

Look at the "open stack" as we can call it:

  • Apache – Free
  • PHP - Free
  • MySQL - Free
  • Linux - Free

Contrast to the MS stack:

  • IIS - $$$
  • .NET - $$$
  • Visual Studio - $$$ (but it's great)
  • OS - $$$
  • SQL Server - $$$
