Popular, Reliable Platform. Less Risk
Windows is an closed-source operating system with limited company-based 
support. The closed-source nature of the product means that many 
Windows deployments are somewhat unique and custom built with various 
solution pieces pulled together. Thus, a small-business customer must 
rely heavily on the technology provider who designs and implements the 
Windows-based network. If that technology provider is not available to 
continue to provide support, there is not likely to be another provider 
who can easily step in and have the knowledge to take over support of 
that custom-built network.
