As for me, the main difference and why i'm using Windows version, is that Linux version of SIM do not support Remote Support Pack (automatic incidents reporting and opening CASEs at HP, and more) and Version Control Repository Manager (updating software/drivers/firmware on windows and linux servers)

If i was you i go WINDOWS,why there option that you will not have and HP SIM is some times problematic,so go with the one that if better supported is Windows,beeing longer on the market then with linux,it like WMware only supported since version 5.2
