We are talking about "server" here and not client. Most Windows servers
are probably bought to perform a simple few functions
1 - File and print serving
2 - Net.data
3 - SqlServer stuff
4 - Windows domain admin
My argument is why get Linux to load WINE for file and print serving?
Doesn't Linux already do a fine enough job on those tasks? Yes, the i can
do that but I've found that the i, using NetServer, doesn't perform well
as a file server.

Replacing the underlying architecture of Net.data and SqlServer is
probably simple enough, it's migrating the ap's written for those
proprietary legacy architectures to something more open like the i or
Linux that becomes more of a rub.
