Windows isn't bad, but Linux is definitely more stable. It isn't Windows itself that is the problem, it is the server code. One of the main issues with Windows is player ghosting. After a few days of players leaving ghosts, a server with decent traffic will be almost unplayable. This won't be as noticeable until you start getting a fair number of players on the server though. Linux doesn't have player ghosts, so it isn't an issue at all there. You can leave a server up much longer without a reset than on Windows. And for some reason, with Windows, you will actually want to reboot the whole PC every week or 2, but Linux never needs to be restarted.
