For basic HTML web sites, there is no apparent difference. As you may have guessed, Windows and Linux accounts are differentiated by the operating system platform that the server runs on. “Windows” is a Windows 2000 (or the new Windows server 2003), which are both very much like the Microsoft Windows 98, XP, etc…Except, web server versions are more specialized for hosting web sites and server applications that standard PC operating systems. “Linux” is an alternative operating system platform originally developed from open source code (not from a software corporate giant, like Microsoft). It is not very popular in the PC market, but has become huge in the server arena.
