Apache 2.0 vs. IIS

Posted by michael on from the no-holds-barred dept.

Interestingly, the article asserts that Microsoft have already given up on IIS, the proof being its absence in XP Home and its non-standard presence in XP Pro. Apache.Net? Sounds catchy..." That's a silly argument by the internetnews.com writer - IIS isn't in the Home edition because Microsoft wants to charge more for "server" operating systems, not because they're "admitting defeat". But it's a decent look at the upcoming Apache 2.0.

    While I absolutely despise Microsoft as a company because of it's predatory and illegal business practices, even I recognize this article as a troll.
