An FYI .. Apache is the most widely used webserver (in
the world) which I am sure you know about.
IIS on Microsoft has had many critical bugs in the
past you can google them for your information.
AND it does makes a difference practically or
otherwise if you  put people at risk by using
infrastructure that can easily sabotage your mission.
My intention is not to criticize M$, but atleast one
does not expects sub-optimal solution for critical
purposes.

A nice article
