Just a little blurb that came out from the latest Netcraft survey

*ISS WEB SERVERS SEE A DROP, SURVEY SAYS
Some 300,000 Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) users dropped the
Web server last month, with 130,000 of them moving to open-source rival
Apache, according to the latest numbers from a Netcraft survey. All isn't
bad for Microsoft, however. The same survey shows the company gained
600,000 development sites interested in adopting its .NET Web initiative,
which is a series of Web-based services and software for businesses. The
latest survey was done after a security analyst at Gartner Group urged
companies to drop IIS because of viruses, such as Code Red and Nimda,
aimed at unpatched IIS vulnerabilities. Netcraft uses an automated server
query to determine a server's software, average uptime and security flaws.
