With my GoDaddy hosting account, should I choose Linux or Windows?

My operating system is Windows XP but when I sent a help request to Go Daddy regarding webforms and databases, ie php and mysql, they told me I had to switch my hosting account from Windows to Linux.

I’ve done this, but can’t get my forms working. I’m not sure if I’ve simply botched the script or whether it’s because I have a Linux hosting account when I operate on Windows!!! Can anyone help please?
When I click "Submit", it tries to go to www.mydomain.info/processform.php and then I get an error message: HTTP 404 Not Found

This is the code I am using for the form (with the guts of the form fields cut out):

<form action="/webformmailer.php" method="post">
<?php
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="WebForm" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="thankyou.html" />
?> <label><span class="style1">First name:
<input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="50" />
</span></label>
<p class="style1">
<label>Surname:
<input name="Surname" type="text" id="Surname" size="50" />
</label>
</p>
<p class="style1">
<label>
<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />
<?php
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="mailto:me@myemail.com" />
<input type="hidden" name="form_format" value="default" />
<input type="hidden" name="form_order" value="default" />
<input type="hidden" name="form_delivery" value="default"/>
?> </label>
</p>
<p class="style1"> </p>
<p class="style1"> </p>
<p> </p>
</form>Contact_Form

<?php
//Connect To Database
$hostname="pXXmysqlXXX.secureserver.net";
$username="Contact_Form";
$password="mypassword";
$dbname="Contact_Form";
$usertable="your_tablename";
$yourfield = "your_field";
mysql_connect($hostname,$username, $password);
mysql_select_db($dbname);
# Check If Record Exists
$query = "SELECT * FROM $usertable";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if($result)
{
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$name = $row["$yourfield"];
echo "Name: ".$name."
";
}
}
?>
