Sorry if this is old news. I haven't read Slashdot for a couple
of days.

Juicy quote:
Gartner recommends that enterprises hit by both Code Red and
Nimda immediately investigate alternatives to IIS, including
moving Web applications to Web server software from other
vendors, such as iPlanet and Apache. Although these Web
servers have required some security patches, they have much
better security records than IIS and are not under active
attack by the vast number of virus and worm writers. Gartner
remains concerned that viruses and worms will continue to
attack IIS until Microsoft has released a completely
rewritten, thoroughly and publicly tested, new release of IIS.
