The only one that runs on Windows and NOT on Linux that I'm
aware of is MSSqlServer - a poor clone of Sybase.

...main problems I've run into are:
(a) lack of accounting software - the reason our second
server ran Windows - this, 10 years ago, was definitely a
big problem - and I'm not sure it has changed. (I'm hoping
someone will tell me it isn't a problem anymore. :))
(b) lack of Linux drivers for low volume devices (eg,
scientific CCDs) - actually the reason we switched away from
Linux on our first product. (still a real problem...)
...the other 'problem' I encountered is that Linux, to some
extent, forces you to do a semi-competent job of managing
access - and therefore takes more time than a completely
incompetent job of managing access under Windows. Albeit,
Linux was easier to deal with than Windows when maintaining
sensible access control.
Y'know though - as far as I can tell - most Linux advantages
are not so much based on being open-source as much as simply
not being terrible software. Whenever I look at Windows,
there are just obvious flawed design decisions that just
make me want to slam my head into the wall.
