Not every 'home' or business user uses, or can afford to purchase,
Windoze 2012 Server. Besides that is far too large for end-users.
Conversely everyone can use and afford (because it is free) to install
Linux as a server, as a end-user (non-server) or as a mixture of the
two. The Linux flexibility is one of its many strong points.
