Don't forget.

Linux is free. Anyone can get a copy of Linux and put a web server up
on the internet, it doesn't cost anything so anyone can have a go.

Windows servers cost a lot of money. On the whole, the only people
putting Windows servers up on the internet are people (who to some
extent) work in IT and are supposed to know what they're doing.

Wouldn't that create some difference in how well the servers are
looked after.....
