Even Microsoft don't want to use their own Product.

Microsoft uses a third party service - Akamai to cache and mirror their 
data and Akamai uses Linux.

As another poster has already pointed out, MS uses Akamai and netcraft is
reporting information from the Akamai servers.

Incidentally, MS IIS 6 and MS IIS 7 have no existing exploitable
vulnerabilities while Apache does.

One side fact about Akamai (especially since September 11th is drawing
near), the Akamai founder and CTO Danny Lewin (a MIT Alumni and an
accomplished geek with many technologies attributed directly to him) was
one of the people who died during the 911 attacks. It is claimed that he
was the first victim of the attack, though that is difficult to prove:

Secunia is hardly a reliable source. For one thing, they count on vendor 
accepting something as a vulnerability before listing it. That makes it 
easier for proprietary software vendors who are typically the only 
source to just claim otherwise. Your point might still stand but the 
source is suspect.

What are the known exploitable vulnerabilities in the Apache web
server?
