Re: Betr.: upgrading to IE6 on w2k servers

["Philip Wagenaar" <p.wagenaar () accon nl>]

Why is IIS 6 (not 3,4,5) so much less secure then IIS?

Maybe Microsoft should change the name of their products more often, because IIS 6 is a totally other product then IIS5.

You must be kidding.
If you're looking for "secure by default" you should look at chroot-ed
Apache from OpenBSD or thttpd or RedHat' Stronghold or AOLServer. Or
even plain Apache. At least you could search http server and you'll find
a dozen of http servers more secure than iis.

Beside that he was talking about IE, not IIS.
Anyway, you made my day with this joke ;)
