If you haven't seen the study from Yankee Group that explains why you should switch to windows to protect your self from the (Windows only) blaster virus, it really is worth a read.

Best I can tell, the linux server's failure was in the fact that it didn't patch the windows boxes the necessary two times a day that a Windows server would have done.

You know Windows, it needs it's daily fix to stay functional. The way I see it, Linux is the rehab counselor of the Operating System world, it doesn't offer windows the fix. A little bit of suffering is an unfortunate but necessary step in the recovery process. Of course, the first step is always to admit that you have a problem.
