"Uhm, even if W2K3 did end up having a big security hole in IIS or something that wouldn't make it a insecure OS"

Err, didn't BillG say back in the Anti-trust trial that things like IIS and IE were integral parts of the OS and simply couldn't be removed for fear of crippling the OS?

Man, it's gotta be a pain in the rumpus to rely on just one OS to make a career...
