March Netcraft survey

awptic writes "The March Netcraft survey is out. Among the changes is a 4% increase in the number of websites running IIS, primarily due, however, to register.com's domain name parking service switching to mostly IIS servers, which account for over 2 million of the 38 million sites surveyed. Ironically, a large number of the websites were defaced shortly thereafter."

    I guess that strategy isn't working out so swell.Or maybe it's all just an incredible coincidence. Given the promotional push (read:throwing money at) that Microsoft has given to the idea of their product on the big iron lately this isn't too surprising.

    The whole Unix is Bad and Hard for Your Teeny Little Brain to Process strategy is apparently failing too since they're running the website on BSD.

    Monkeys? You're comparing Highly Qualified Professional MCSEs to monkeys? Many Successful Web Professionals are MCSEs. These Trained Professionals suffer long years to earn their credentials.

    Of course, because IIS stands for "It Isn't Secure."

    Someone's concept of the meaning of the word "ironic" is even worse than Alanis Morissette's.
