In its long evolution, Windows has grown so complicated that it is harder to secure. Well these images make the point very well. Both images are a complete map of the system calls that occur when a web server serves up a single page of html with a single picture. The same page and picture.

I guessed the one on the right, looks like I won the prize! I'm curious about details of the grapher's methodology. IIS comes out of the box with a lot of bells and whistles turned on by default. Apache is relatively bare in the same state. If the same diagrams were generated with all unnecessary functionality in each package disabled, I wonder if the IIS diagram would become more tidy.
