Not suprising is you consider Linux is used by the overwhelming vast majority of personal and hobby websites which due to the amateur nature of such sites are never going to be as secure as commercial websites often hosted by commercial web hosting companies with professional administrators and support teams (which according to netcraft atleast) is the main situations where Microsoft's IIS server is used.
If anything, considering the amount of such amateur Linux websites, I'm surprised the succsessful attacks on Linux aren't higher.
