Apache 2.0 vs. IIS

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

TonyG writes: "According to an item on InternetNews, the impending release of Apache 2.0 could very well mean the demise of IIS. 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.

    With this post and the totally moronic coverage of the (obviously) fake XBOX emulator, /. journalistic quality has gone further down the toilet than you could possibly argue IIS has. Here's hoping it's just a temporary blemish in an otherwise decent record.

    This is a blatant attempt to get attention when the actual news item is not at all what the panderer would have us believe. If Slash Dot can't do better than this - basically linking to other news agencies and then allowing meaningless blather created by high salaried useless people to abound, maybe they'd better shut down.
