How about you get a 2003 box, secure it, and then test/play on it, but
you don't expose port 80 to the web until you learn about security.
Windows 2003 Web Server version is cheap and can do all that you need,
but you still need to understand security. Don't mess with any of that
VM crap, just setup the machine correctly and go at it.
