Of course, it can easily be argued that IIS is more exploited because more end-users and script kiddies can easily install IIS on their Windows PC and use it to test their exploit.


Yes, they could get and install Apache (on Windows, Linux, or whatever) and craft an exploit for that, but it's easier for them to get IIS, and exploit that. They may even be so naive as to be unaware of the non-Windows world out there.
