Perhaps it's a silly question, but exactly what "comparable products from other vendors" are they referring to? These wouldn't by

Just out of curiosity, have any statistics been published on how many non-IIS servers were directly affected by Nimda? It would seem
that the statistics would be more telling than a PR flak...
