TBh, i'm not sure what you're asking here? Though a comparison of Windows vs Linux hosting is fair and lengthy.
Windows offers you native scripting support for ASP/ASP.NET. Also PHP, CGI, Perl and Python. You can use MS Access, MS SQL and MySQL databases. And of course Frontpage Exntentions.
Linux offers you PHP, CGI, Perl, Python and MySQL.
Basically there are somethings Windows can't do that Linux can but Windows can do PHP and MySQL databases.
Why there is price differences between different hosting companies is always key and is determined by many factors from supplier costs and competition.

Yes, we don't limit database sizes, but you have to remain with your account limit of course!
