Netcraft Interviews Brian Behlendorf

Posted by timothy on from the aternatives-in-action dept.

thejackol writes "The co-founder of the Apache Web Server Project and the First Chief Engineer at Wired Magazine was interviewed by Netcraft's Rich Miller about Netcraft's growth, the SCO case's unexpected benefits and changing the world through software. Excerpt: 'It's a good rebuke to the cynical but widespread notion that all it takes is a big pot of gold to litigate your competition out of existance or otherwise win a legal challenge. Good did prevail in the end. Hopefully it won't make us too cocky, because the next challenge could be much harder to fight.'"

    Netcraft's Rich Miller confirms it: Apache is dying

    Apache, once the dominant web server in the market, is dying. As a result of its imminent death, all other Apache Foundation projects have been put on hold and resources are being pooled together in order to concentrate on stopping the massive hemorrhaging that results from selling Apache for free.

    "Well, our business model didn't project us losing money by giving our products away for free," explained Brian Behlendorf in an interview with Rich Miller. Because of the lack of foresight, red oozes at the Apache Foundation and the torrent of cash flowing out cannot be stopped.

    When asked for comment, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer stated, "I think this is great news. Microsoft be there for you when your Apache product is no longer supported. Our Services for Unix group is working on a whole set of tools to help you migrate from Apache to IIS." In fact, even the Apache Foundation suggests switching to IIS as it will soon be impossible to maintain any of their projects.

    It's official: Apache is dying.
