comparing web servers from a security perspective?
A well-patched Apache is as secure as you can get. A well-patched IIS is also as secure as you can get. Miss just one patch, and your webserver, whatever it is, is unsecure. There is no such thing as a slightly unsecure webserver, anymore than there is a being like a slightly pregnant woman. You may, however, want to consider a webserver's MTBSP (Mean Time Between Security Patches). ;-)) Keeping up with IIS is a lot more work. Ciao!
