As stated in the previous answer each have their own strengths and weaknesses.
Over my years in IT I have found that the Novell product is more stable and does not suffer from abends as regularly as Microsoft products have problems. I have known a Netware server be running for over 2 years with no problems at all but have yet to see a Microsoft server that has been up and running for that length of time.
A lot really depends on what you want from the server and where your own knowledge is.
