I remember when a couple of MS IIS worms reared their ugly heads a while back the Gartner Group, a well respected IT think-tank, were questioning whether companies should continue with the MS platform.

Playing devil's advocate slightly: why are they well-respected, and who by? As far as I can see they are a source of reports that news outlets make a lot of noise about when they say something bad for MS, and apparently ignore otherwise. -- http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/
