I never chose MS, ever. Most systems have been based on Debian servers. Some special needs I've used Alpine Linux and NetBSD (yes it does run on older, limited hardware).
Of course, some potential clients demand MS based solutions. I simply decline those contracts and ring them up 12-18 months later to see if the CTO/CIO has been replaced.
