[..] > webserver [..] Check out bugtraq, etc for statistics about apache/linux/unix remote exploits in comparison to IIS/Microshit Wingoof. In particular look up the estimated (financial) damage that was done by Code Red. I guess there were smaller companies/start ups that have been driven out of buisness by that worm. Maybe you can find a case study somewhere. Something else: I once heard that Microsoft claims to have 99% uptime, but only under the following conditions (which is in the *small printed* part of course): 1) two independent machines that access the same storage array 2) weekly maintenance reboots I can't point you to any address on this but I think I read it on slashdot, you might start your search there. >From my own experience in dealing with/talking to SUN officals: M$ is no thread for them in the mainframe business. Everywhere where realiabilty is wanted, company's choose SUN, IBM or HP - NEVER M$. SUN Germany sells servers (the large >90 CPUs ones) to "Deutsche Bank" and "Deutsche Telekom". I think at these companies there are people who know *why* they do not choose M$ for mission critical stuff. One more point is the crazy M$ license fees. You might find this interesting: http://www.ximian.com/about_us/press_center/press_releases/y2pay.html M$ basically now wants you to pay a monthly fee to be allowed to get upgrades/bugfixes at all. hth, at least I hope I could point you to some directions, Good luck - I have been through this, too - it's tough :) Jan
