Apache would be the most-exploited web server, since it has 65%+ of the market
yea... with half of that being 16 year old bloggers . if you dig a little deeper.
The overall figures don't reflect an important fact: Microsoft's strength in the market for Secure Sockets Layer servers, which are commonly used by e-commerce providers. Netcraft's survey found that Microsoft powers about 49 percent of SSL servers. It is followed by Apache, with about 36 percent, and Sun, with about 3.5 percent.
ahhh, flamed by an anonymous coward.
I was referring to the fact that it is incredibly easy for others to point fingers at the poor programming and implementation that you mention occuring over in Redmond. Last time i checked they recruit some of the brighest minds in the world (heck i didnt make it past lunch in my interview;) and spend more on research and development than any other company in the world. I believe that their intentions are coming from the right place, however in practice they have issues (much like communism) since their ultimate goal is to appease shareholders by making money. Sacrifices (it seems) are made to get product out the door.
The sheer infrastructure and process needed to build, deploy, and distribute, not to mention maintain software (specifically operating systems) would bring the linux world to it's knees in about a month should every MS product in the world dissapear. bet on it.
I am by no means a large MS fan, however i find the holier than though attitude adopted by a large number of the linux crowd hysterical.
This of course, is just my humble opinion.

all the linux zealots vs all the MS zealots. When will everyone realize that humans are inherently flawed beings who produce inherintly flawed products from cars that run using fire and that rust, to operating systems chock full of flaws. Once linux gains enough momentum and is deployed on a meaningful percentage of business users desktops, hackers will deem it worthwile to devote time to exploit it. its absurd to think that any opeating system is so head and shoulders above anything else. its only a matter of time. get off your soapboxes. Why is using MS update any different than downloading this new linux fix? the doublestandards on display at/. never cease to amaze me.
