My brother works for a college. He is their computer wizz. He maintains their servers and sets up servers as needed. Some of the servers are window servers and some use linux. When I told him that window servers (according to many on the board are not as secure as other systems) he said that is not necessarily the case. If one installs all of the patches and keeps up with the installation of new patches it is at least just as secure as the linux systems. He said now that linux is being used more and more that the patches are beginning to flow for linux also. He said that the worse thing about using windows is that it takes a greater effort to keep things running smoothly. By the way some of the servers use other systems as well. Bottom line he considers windows to be as secure as the others, but more of a pain. He also said that none of the systems are truely secure.
