try this:

"Gartner Group has issued a remarkable advisory recommending - in the strongest terms - that enterprises abandon their investments in Microsoft's web server IIS (Internet Information Server).The key point of the advisory is that Gartner has lost faith in Microsoft's ability to patch and fix the IIS. It recommends holding off from .NET products too, or at least those that are based on Microsoft's IIS until the latter is "completely rewritten".
