Just thinking:- Governments and institutions try to make more and more things safe, but they forget that we live in a inherently dangerous society and you can only do so much to bypass this.
I agree there. (use it to play with PHP) But even Apache themselves discourage Win32 on the "open net" due to it not being as mature. The only other prob is the ASP extensions - is there an Apache mod to do this ?
1. I agree that admins who dont patch servers are pretty stupid !!!
2. Some of us dont know enough unix to competantly administer such box if things do really go wrong.
Surely it is a better idea to have a well patched and secured IIS Server that behaves and is robust and hacker resistant (not hacker proof you note, no system can be totally secure) than a dodgy Apache installation.
I'd love to be able to run Apache on our web server, its faster, more robust and doesnt crash all the time, but you need to know what you are doing !! I have a lot of knowledge (no I aint an MCSE - dont want to be !! all paper and no tech knowledge) but if I where to implement a RedHat/Apache solution, it wouldnt be as secure (due to me not bieng up on *nix systems)and it would be harder for me to maintain when you get things like kernel panics (wouldnt know what to do)

I thought File Sharing actually implied you SHARED files. If people like yourself try and take files I cut you off. You are bieng unfair to not share.

Just a few points:

2. Some of us dont know enough unix to competantly administer such box if things do really go wrong.
