Generally and based on experience with 35 desktop W95 sytems and 3 NT
servers as an internal (only) intranet.
W95 has minimal security and is difficult to make hard for security.
Suitable as webserver in a non hostile environment not requiring security
from malicious users.
Win NT can be secure, but watch those service packs as some improve it and a
few reduce it (bugs!). Generally fairly secure, common enough in use that
security holes are well known and publicized.
I'm currently looking at linux, it has potential.
Another I do know well is VMS as its generally very secure and made very
secure. It also has security by obscurity, most PC heads haven't a clue want
a VAX(alpha) or VMS is.
