Uh. Here's what I did: I installed i5/OS, created an HTTP instance and
opened port 80 on my firewall.

I gotta admit, that's far less than I would do. I'd at _least_ also install up to SP2... ummm... I mean, at least the cume level beyond what was available at GA. No way I'd want an un-PTFed system open to the world. You have the courage of your convictions, I'll say that for you. I couldn't even get the new IDS stuff to work without PTFs beyond the cume available at the time.

BTW, were you thinking of a comparison between i5/OS V5R4 and Windows Server 2007? or Windows Server 2003? W2K7 has been a significant improvement over W2K3, and W2K3 became very good... eventually. Of course, 'eventually' means that service packs were released and expected to be installed.
