That's the problem, a Windows server is likely to be a little less secure, IMHO.
Doubtful. A legal copy of Windows (so you can get the updates) can be secured as well as Linux, at least assuming the administrator is equally skilled in managing both. That's not a very good rationale against using it.
A lot more virus/worm/h4xx authors focus on Windows platforms than on Linux/Solaris. And there are a lot more remotely exploitable errors to gain root access for Windows than for Linux. Another point is thatin Linux you just shut down the vulnerable service, while some rootexploits for Windows affect core components.
