It's not my idea of a good time, but Windows pioneered some stuff that's really handy for servers.

Receive side scaling[1] is super handy at high volume, and it came from Windows. And Windows has better apis for it than I saw in FreeBSD or Linux when I needed it (I didn't look too closely at Linux though, so maybe it was there).
