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:

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 :)
