2003: Year of Apache

John Chamberlain writes "Netcraft's numbers for the new year are in. The trend graphs tell a story: 2003 was the Year of Apache. If Time magazine had a server-of-the-year award the cover would be featuring a feather. Since October 2002 market share has grown from 53% to 64%, a 20% gain while Microsoft IIS, its nearest competitor has shrunk from 36% to 24%, a 33% decline. The change in server totals was even more dramatic. Apache HTTP Server increased from about 20 million to 32 million (+60%) while all other competitors remained flat."

    Now dead, his rotting fingers are able to raise
    an army of skeletons from the grave.

  6. This means nothing by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Okay, what this is essentially saying is that Apache is the server for delivering HTTP. What does this really mean? Nothing. With most open source projects running out of funding, have you guys ever asked yourself what a small piece of the $25,000 WebSphere Application Server processor license could do towards advancing society? To me, you guys are smucks for giving big companies a product to sell under their own name. Perhaps the open source community can do more to help Walmart profits, oil companies and potentially hostile nations like China. Nice work.

    Ahh, Slashlogic.

    If my company thought Apache was a better fit (security and flexibility), then we'd switch to Apache, not just have our servers identify as Apache.

    And identifying as Apache wards off TRAFFIC from ATTEMPTED attacks, from our fully patched IIS servers.

    I would think a "win for Apache" to be my company CHOOSING Apache, which they haven't. Thats like saying Mozilla users changing their browser to identify itself as IE as a win for Microsoft.
