    I read a study which report that 51% of websites are now using IIS 6.0 for web serving.

    Personally, I'm stunned. Considering how much better Apache is then junky IIS, it is really shocking!

    Weeee!!!

    C'mon troll, at least cite the actual study when you post!

  3. Two Whole Security Violations? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    That's shocking. For an application written in Java, security vulnerabilities are almost unheard of. It's a testament to the security of Java and to just how large Apache is that it was able to create security hazards, being written in Java and all. It's a good thing they decided to rewrite Apache in Java, as the C version was a hopeless tangle of unmaintainable, impossible code. Nobody can write a project this large in C and have it be viable.

    The preceding was sarcasm. Apache was written in C, demonstrating that C is a dandy language for a project of any size, if the programmers are careful and good.

    Note that if a new version of IIS came out that fixed security problems, it would have been on the Slashdot front page.

    Just saying.
