Dear Sir

Koha is platform independent Library management software, which can be installed and run on any; Windows, Linux or MAC. Generally professional and Koha communities recommends to choose Linux distribution (major Ubuntu). The benefits of Koha using on Ubuntu is/are wide support, simplicity and advance features etc. Many online learning e-resources and demo of Koha are available by targeting Ubuntu. So you can also try on Ubuntu latest edition. 

Thank You.

Dear Naseem 

By reading your questions, it seems that you need suggestion with why?. If you are already known about the platforms and features of koha then what is the purpose of putting this matter here?. It's kind of wastage of resource; time, internet and web space etc. As you said that Z39.50, feature don't supports with windows, its correct some features and support you may not get with windows and MAC. Linux users are having more world wide support than any other platform.
