As I understand it, Netcraft's results are based on web sites, or more precisely, hostnames, rather than actual web servers. This introduces a bias because some servers run a large number of low-volume (or zero volume) web sites. This company attempts to survey web *servers* only (Note: Total is about 5% of Netcraft total) <http://www.securityspace.com/s_survey/data/200804/> More detail here: <http://www.securityspace.com/s_survey/data/200804/servers.html> This gives 73% for Apache and 19% for Microsoft.
