Just wondering… Is there anyone on Earth using Windows Server?
At school we were tought how to work with it (my teacher was so outdated, he barely knew what Linux was) but I can’t find any good reason to use it instead of Linux

Every single business running Windows computers (which is about all of them) will have an Active Directory running on Windows. Every company I worked for only ever had a handful of Linux servers and the majority of Windows servers. Microsoft revenue generated $26.7 billion in one quarter from its Licensing, and even though a lot of it was through cloud, a lot of it also came through self hosted Windows servers. You live in a bubble if you think nobody is using Windows server.
