>On PaaS, it still makes a lot of sense to use Windows as the underlying OS

Why is this the case? I would have thought PaaS of all things would be OS agnostic as the end user doesn't really care about the OS or how things are being done in the background as long as it's simple to deploy/configure etc.

For example if Azure Websites suddenly made this big shift to Linux for some reason, it wouldn't affect anyone actually using the service.
