My pointer would be to learn how to harden IIS7, Vista including its
registry, file system, user accounts and the Web applications to attack,
facing the Internet. Otherwise, the machine is just hack bait.
Do you even know what a CSS attack and many other forms of attacks and hacks
are about?

Just like I would not put a Web solution out facing the Internet using XP
pro, I wouldn't do it with a workstation version of Vista either.
You need to be coming with Win 2k3 server a Web solution server O/S that's
harden, along with IIS and Web solutions that are harden.
