Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and GNU/Linux are just operating systems. It is easier to compare them based on some task or need.

Without anything more specific, the best I think anyone can suggest is to look at a comparison of Open Source Software versus proprietary software. "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" is probably one of the better known essays on the subject:

And in what kind of environment---if you already have several Windows Servers, loads of Microsoft licences and possibly Microsoft-related services from 3rd party companies, it might be easier to add in one extra Windows Server than start investigating what sort of GNU/Linux OS would fit in, how much it would cost, how it could be made work with the others etc. etc.
