When I used to run IIS servers back in the old days it was almost vomit inducing (again in retrospect) how many security flaws the program had built into it (and the default settings).  Back then we had no idea.

If you're talking the old-days, was that pre or post Code Red?  Because that was care of IIS.  Yeah, I had to admin an IIS server for a short while where I work, and it's just awful compared to Apache.  And IIS still likes to have a horrible zero-day every few months, though I don't know a great deal about it, particularly the newer versions because fair enough, the exploits seem to be all on IIS 6, which is outdated.
