    Interesting take on things.

    Gartner Group is now recommending that IIS be replaced in corporate
                environments. This is based on the fact that TCO for IIS is rising due to the
                almost-weekly patches sent out by MS, and even then, it's nearly
                impossible to get patched quickly enough. Best part: 'Gartner remains
                concerned that viruses and worms will continue to attack IIS until Microsoft
                has released a completely rewritten, thoroughly and publicly tested, new
                release of IIS,' which they say has an 80% chance of happening by the end
                of next year." Gartner hasn't always said favorable things about Linux
                systems in the workplace, but the businesses that rely on this type of
                analysis to justify purchasing decisions may find this one interesting.
