I use windows as my server OS just as it's easy to integrate with my Windows machines, it runs a lot of dedicated servers for various games that most run on windows natively. I run Plex, a file server and I do run VMs and Linux Guests for web servers. The hardware is just an older Dell Poweredge with dual 12 core xeons and 128gb ram. It doesn't care at all about the loads I put on it.
