Why is IIS 6 (not 3,4,5) so much less secure then IIS? Maybe Microsoft should change the name of their products more often, because IIS 6 is a totally other product then IIS5.

My reasons for switching to iis are new security model, secure by default,
You must be kidding. If you're looking for "secure by default" you should look at chroot-ed Apache from OpenBSD or thttpd or RedHat' Stronghold or AOLServer. Or even plain Apache. At least you could search http server and you'll find a dozen of http servers more secure than iis. Beside that he was talking about IE, not IIS.
