Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the but-who-is-counting dept.

chris81 writes "For the first time ever, the Apache Web Server is powering more than 50 million websites, according to Netcraft's Web Server Survey for October. Although relative share fell by 0.67 percent, the total number of sites powered by Apache grew to over 52 million. Microsoft's IIS finished second with more than 15 million sites served."

    talk security all you want but be fair and give ms high marks here. by far, apache has more viruses and security issues as a percentage of its market share than iis does. it doesn't look like that at first because of the difference in market share but iis is actually more secure when you analyze the numbers. people ignore apache issues because windows issues are more relevant to the vast majority of home users so ms security issues get reported on more frequently, further working to skew the average person's perceptions.
