Of course the methodology is slightly flawed for these sorts of
comparisons. As anyone who's worked with IIS will tell you, it takes
many more NT servers to handle the same work load as a bunch of Unix
Apache servers. Hence there are probably stacks of IIS boxen sitting
behind individual URLs like hotmail.com (I think they managed to wean
themselves off Solaris eventually and probably have a cubic kilometre
of NT boxes to handle the load :)
The methodology, of course, however makes sense when reporting "this
many sites use this software" as opposed to "there are this many public
web servers running this software".
