OT: why they use IIS (was "red worm amusement")

[JonesMB <jonesmb@arthem.com>]

this morning I read an interesting article on the "red worm amusement"
topic that led to the weekend's heated discussion.  the article is at
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/zd/20010723/tc/it_bugs_out_over_iis_security_1.
html

here are a few interesting quotes from the article - 
"Despite the widespread perception of IIS as a nonsecure server, many
customers say that ... it (IIS) will remain their server of choice because
they are too committed to Microsoft to make a switch practical or affordable."
"I would switch if I could convince my company to do it,"
"It's hard to find good Unix security guys"
"stuck with it (IIS) for convenience and fiscal reasons"

as you can see, most of the quotes are the same things that were mentioned
here recently.  in the business world, convenience and other things seem to
take precedence over security.
