They've got a lot better at not doing this recently.

We've had no Windows-caused[0] problems take a server down in the
past couple of years, it's been mostly application failure and me
knocking power leads. Can't find any perceptible sluggishness, though
the load's not that great, but these aren't particularly high-spec
boxes either, generally low-end Dells running Windows Server 03.

[0] Yes, applications should be able to fail without taking the OS with
them. This is still an issue in Windows.
