On godaddy, I bought the hosting service, But I forgot to choose windows in the pull down list, it has two options, linux, and windows. I use windows XP on my pc. But now my account has been created using Linux as the platform. Is this going to be a problem when I publish my website to the web.

If you’ll be building a basic web page, or using technologies common to both platforms (like PHP and MySQL for example) then no, you PROBABLY won’t have a problem. Unless the application in question makes use of platform-specific features. For instance, paths with a backslash instead of a forward slash (Windows) or symbolic links (Linux).
But if you’re building dynamic applications, then you have several other problems… lack of CRON jobs (for site maintentance), and really really slow database connections (which you’ll start to notice as you build traffic to your site). I used to have sites hosted on GoDaddy. I still use them for domain registration, but for web hosting I’ve gone elsewhere.
And this is coming from an affiliate who actually gets PAID by GoDaddy when people sign up. But I’m not going to recommend something that will fall flat on it’s face.

Learn the Linux way of webv development (php) – you can download the php help file and find many tutorials on the web.
But if you still insist on using outmoded technology (Microsoft), call tech support and I’m sure they’ll convert your account to a Windows server. (They’ve helped me with things a lot dumber than clicking the wrong thing – which can happen to anyone.)

You persoanlly will not notice a difference. Unless you want to use a lot of microsoft. As you may well have some MySQL databases to host PHP you will soon realize that unless you had a specific Microsoft agenda to go for you’ve actually picked the right choice.

This will only be a problem if you plan on using Microsoft technologies to create your website, such as ASP. If you’re just using HTML, or PHP, then you won’t have a problem (and will probably be happier with a Linux based server, though you probably won’t notice a difference).
