It's not that IIS is all that very bad. You see, I have used it in the past. In fact I still do use it for a site which I'm designing at the moment. Try running VBscript ASP on Apache. For some things, IIS is simply easier.
Every piece of software, open source or not, is bound to have bugs and be exploitable. The difference between Open Source and Closed Source is that people tend to dislike Closed Source packages more, and thus tend to exploit it.
I wonder -- If they started charging for Apache, how long it would take before there'd be as many security holes in it as there ever was with IIS.
Some thoughts.

IIS comes out with so many vulnerability patches because it sucked so bad to begin with. Microcrap makes me sick.
