Windows vs Linux install

Question

We currently have a Jira and Greenhopper install on a Windows Server 2008(4 core/ 64 bit/ 6g ram).  We are looking at adding other Atlassian products(Fisheye/Confluence/Stash).  It was suggested, by someone in our office, that the overall performance will be better on a Linux server.  Is there a recommendation on what OS to install some of the Atlassian suite on?  With our current Windows setup, we don't have any issues. The concern is coming from installing the other plugins.

Well, as from Atlassian product side, I don't think that there should be any difference between platforms as long as the platform is supported, and enough resources are given for the product.

However, if your concern is about the OS itself, well maybe Linux is more stable than Windows (I'm talking in general here).

So, you can install your new plugins on Windows with no worries as long as the resources are enough. :)
