FreeBSD is more stable than any NT box using a straight-from-cd configuration and the GENERIC kernel. To make it less secure you would have to mess around with a lot of the FreeBSD and it's programs' source code and intentionally make it less secure. Also NT' cannot manage any badnwidth, which is why, Hotmail is owned by microsoft, yet runs apache. The immense amount of users that lands on hotmail daily is nto enough for MS Backoffice to handle.
