I wish some of the 'advocates' would take that comment and tattoo it on the

No argument, I was as sceptical as anyone w.r.t the merits of IIS on Win2k,
But having had a 1st hand part in a large deployment of it and seeing how
to do the job properly. It can be made just as tight as any *nix solution,
more importantly, its VERY easy to maintain it that way.
Gartner are just after headlines, their actual content is generally as
