Exactly. This is why Windows Server 2003 will usually be more secure than linux will ever be. N00bish administrators only know how to point and click; and they arent going to know how to play with some obscure text setting file. So there you go; you just told us all that Windows Server 2003 is really better
Not to mention, on the same piece of hardware, Windows Server 2003 outperforms any linux serving task; usually exponentially. On an 8-Way Xeon webserver, Windows Server 2003 with IIS6 can serve like 8x the server load that a linux server could.
