Oh yeah, the average computer newbie who got ‘98 and saw the ads for PWS and installed it off his ‘98 CD really looked at that KB article to see that. In the early days of the WWW Microsoft was very good at putting dangerous technologies in the hands of people who had never seen a computer before.
Meanwhile, Apache was made for those who knew what they were doing and followed instructions and warnings. It was a separate product you had to know about, go to Apache and download (usually over dialup).
ROFL

But you've been saying over and over it was somehow better for the clueless end users you keep insulting.

No good for the clueless noobs then, which was your original point remember. Guess not. But even if you were a professional you were no better off security wise than with PWS, due to the underlying O/S, as this thread also shows. But I'm sure you'll move the goalposts again now, look for some way to blame Microsoft for something else.
