I'll try and address you briefly:

1. Workstations:
Hands down PC's beat out UNIX workstations on price/performance; see my previous posts.

2. Servers:
File, print, web, and database servers for small to mid size business Linux + high-end PC is all they need. Regarding threading, my multi-threaded database import utility (in Java) can insert more records into an Oracle database on a 2-way NT box than a 4-way sparc that I later had to install it on; using native threaded JVM's.

3. Windows 2000
That 40-50 million lines of code you quoted was for ALL their office suite products included, not the core OS.

Regarding your past experience with Linux, I would say the same thing about a year ago; it's there now and that's why I'm writing this.
