Windows file locking mode is a pain. With a windows solace you can restart
the slave process with low or no impact... Restarting the master take a lot
more coordination (waiting for all builds to stop) and has a much higher
impact (all builds stopped until master restarted)
That, and the 254 character file name limit that java and the windows APIs
conspire to apply on you are the only *technical* reasons to favour a unix
over a windows master... Neither are show-stoppers, but if you have the
choice, I recommend a unix.
Active Directory *can* in some shops be easier from a windows master... But
if you have a more complex AD setup you may end up switching Jenkins to
"unix"-mode for AD authentication anyway
