I often see this bias in other Open Source products and while I fully understand it the empirical evidence often times tends to indicate otherwise. And I quote: "Microsoft and Apache currently take the lion's share of the web server market (just over 71% combined), while Microsoft edged into the lead for the first time in July 2014. Nginx has been steadily gaining share over the last 7 years, and is now used to serve just over 14% of all hostnames." http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2014/09/24/september-2014-web-server-survey.html A look at the latest Stats indicate that the Microsoft web server is still on par with past surveys and is second only to Apache as a major portion of the market. http://news.netcraft.com/archives/category/web-server-survey/ Developer February 2015 Percent March 2015 Percent Change Apache 342,480,920 38.77% 337,175,536 38.39% -0.38 Microsoft 253,484,221 28.69% 245,496,533 27.95% -0.74 nginx 130,093,899 14.73% 127,191,696 14.48% -0.25 Google 20,238,057 2.29% 20,097,702 2.29% -0.00 I Tend to work more in the Windows world than in the ‘Nix environment so my bias led me to advocate for a more Windows friendly product. I understand if that Is not the direction OpenBD is to take but evidence indicates that it is not a market to be dismissed as inconsequential. -- -- online documentation: http://openbd.org/manual/ http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Open BlueDragon" group.
