July 3, 2005 Web server marketshare: http://news.netcraft.com/archives/web_server_survey.html Look at the second graph Apache 69.37% You can see in early 2002, Microsoft had a growth spurt. I suspect this was due to many developers looking into .NET and setting up new servers to check it out. Later as interest began to fade, Microsoft IIS usage continued to decline. Web server marketshare: http://www.securityspace.com/.../index.html Apache 71.41% Apache's web server module usage: http://www.securityspace.com/.../apachemods.html PHP is the winner with 49.06% So I have to wonder how people are arriving at the assumption that .NET is the future. The stats I read say the exact opposite. *shrug*

Not the whole picture...

There is no question Apache is dominant but these numbers don't paint a definite picture as to the real state of the web/application server market. Every domain name that doesn't have a site parked on (temporary page) it is most likely running on Apache because the hosters out there have found it to be more cost effective. That's millions of sites, including those that are domains for known spammers. In addition, with the boom in blogging, the number of blogs running on Apache are most likely in the vast majority over IIS. Myself, the majority (about 60%) of the web work I do is on LAMP while the majority of real enterprise application work I do is on IIS. Point is, there are a lot of considerations to take with these numbers. Not that I expect more from somone well planted in the LAMP and ROR camp but it is easy to take numbers and spin them with your flavor of bias, which is evident in your case.
