I don't have statistics, but years ago I played around with MapServer, it was all right, but was not polished or speedy. I find that MapGuide can be both. MapGuide also will allow for more types of data SDF, DWF to name two.
I think MapGuide will have far more development and support going forward. Just my 2 cents.

I guess what I am looking for is what are the strengths and weaknesses of both. Basically our MapServer currently serves both Shapefiles (39 layers) & Oracle Spatial (11 layers) data. My biggest concern is user-perceived performance. Our current server config is a 3.06GHz Opteron w/ 8GB of RAM. I've tried to tune our data as best I can however I'm still concerned about the end-user perceived performance. As most people are, I'm up against people expecting our MapServer to perform with the same speed as Google Maps. I'm also looking for something with a very visually polished development framework. I know that looks aren't everything but it does offer some credibility to the information being presented. Thanks for any input anyone has. - Tim ---- Timothy J Nolte - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Associate Network Planning Engineer iPCS Wireless, Inc. 4717 Broadmoor Ave, Suite G Kentwood, MI 49512 Office: 616-656-5163 PCS: 616-706-2438 Fax: 616-554-6484 Web: www.ipcswirelessinc.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Birch Sent: Friday, February 08, 2008 4:05 PM To: MapGuide Users Mail List Subject: RE: [mapguide-users] Differences between UMN MapServer & MapGuide... I guess I should ask what your reasons for considering moving away from MapServer are. What needs do you have that it is not meeting? They both certainly have their strengths and weaknesses, but I don't know if any recent in-depth analysis of the differences.
