eWeek: Apache 2.0 Trumps IIS
AK47 writes "eWeek has a very positive review of Apache 2.0, entitled "Apache 2.0 Beats IIS at Its Own Game." They recommend the native Apache version on Windows over IIS for production use, citing superior security with no loss in performance."

autopr0n is like, down and stuff.
What a crappy 'comparison'
Exactly. AFAIK, Apache has always been faster than IIS for static page loading. What's new? However, for dynamic requests (depending on multiple factors) I've seen benchmarks that show IIS bests Apache. The fact that they didn't give us a whole lot of info leave's the claims holding little ground. Also, Apache 2.0 is very new, and IIS 5.0 is not so new. Let's wait and compare it with IIS 6.0 (XML conf files, more security (we'll see), faster performance, and a stainless steel kitchen sink) when it comes out.
Plus, those of you saying that "Apache can run ASP" are forgetting that A) larger apps generally don't port all that well, and B) ASP is dead (or will die soon - hopefully!), as ASP.NET is where a lot of new development is headed.
