No Mark. It is partly the result of a deliberate MS policy to make their market share look bigger than it actually is.
Yes, of course, it's all a Microsoft plot.
Always remember, the main thing that MS is good at is marketing.
And everyone who uses Microsoft is too stupid to see how inferior the Microsoft product actually is . . . .
Yep, everyone here pretty much told me that .Net was technically insufficient when compared to other offerings -- NOT!
This article explains the two big changes in the Netcraft graph of websites (NOT web servers). <http://ostatic.com/158627-blog/web-servers-dont-count-apache-out> Quote: Microsoft picked up 5% of the market in one fell swoop in early 2006 when Go Daddy moved all of their millions of parked (i.e., not active by any sensible definition) domains from Apache servers to IIS. A win for Microsoft, to be sure, but not an indicator of any particular trend.
It's not an indicator of any particular trend, except that -- for some reason -- a monster ISP switched from your choice to mine. What were the reasons for the switch? Were they valid reasons or did Microsoft buy Go Daddy?
Also, it's interesting to see the biases. GoDaddy supports many non-programmers -- so I can understand why it would be rational to dismiss them for the argument that we were having (if we could isolate them) -- but there are is also a large number of idle, old *document-only* Apache sites that aren't being dismissed by SecuritySpace because they have valuable university papers. Why don't you try to find some statistics that attempt to count active, development-type websites? Or have you attempted to do so and only found ones with numbers that violate your pre-conceptions?
Quote: In mid-2007, the 8 million or so Google-served sites started reporting themselves as "GFE" rather than Apache - even though GFE may well be a private fork of the Apache codebase.
Or, Google could be conspiring with Microsoft to hurt Apache's standing.
So MS has inflated it's Netcraft numbers by the simple tactic of persuading registrars to dump dead sites on IIS and Google has grabbed 6% by not reporting itself as Apache anymore. See - it's simple really.
Yes, everyone is conspiring against Apache getting the numbers that you want.
