But maybe you have an ASP website that you want to implement? Or maybe your programmers can only write in ASP?

Some of the codes in ASP won't work with Linux server, which will only work on Windows server only.

I believe SunOne (formerly Chilisoft) has an ASP app framework for Linux. Not that it would be any better mind you, but it is there none-the-less. Frankly the thought of using active server pages makes me shudder. :)

I think you'll find that the vast majority of pure webservers and webserving environments tend toward Solaris and AIX -- old school unix. Netcraft's Fortune 100 shows Solaris in the lead -- not surprising. That's not to say Linux won't advance, with companies like IBM pushing Linux on the x-series, and LPAR's on the p-series, it very well could surpass Unix.
Also keep in mind the question was "...what percentage of webservers are Linux compared to Windows..." -- I paraphrased a bit for clarity.

In this, one cannot simply say 'Megalithic Corp' uses Solaris, so that counts as one; it does not. Megalithic Corp probably has a farm consisting of hundreds if not thousands of active servers -- both front end web serving for static content and back end processing for dynamic content. Those count as well. ;)

Cheers.
