I think thats part of the issue.
We do provide windows hosting and SQL server for customrs but my experience
of it has not been good.
Approx 6 to 10 times more work involved to keep it running securely and
stable-y.
I can factor that into what I charge customers, but if its for our own use
then thats just time and money lost.
