Netcraft Says IIS Gaining on Apache

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the trolls-rejoice-in-netcraft-story dept.

benjymouse quotes this month's netcraft survey "In the August 2007 survey we received responses from 127,961,479 sites, an increase of 2.3 million sites from last month. Microsoft continues to increase its web server market share, adding 2.6 million sites this month as Apache loses 991K hostnames. As a result, Windows improves its market share by 1.4% to 34.2%, while Apache slips by 1.7% to 48.4%. Microsoft's recent gains raise the prospect that Windows may soon challenge Apache's leadership position."

    Of course.. Microsoft has not gained any legitimate share of the market. That is at least what Microsoft wants you to believe.

    I use GoDaddy as a host and I always specify Windows based hosting even for the Economy sites.

    I just enjoy knowing that my web server was designed by professionals and backed by a well known corporation.

    I just enjoy knowing that my web server was designed by idiots and backed by a well known monopolist.

    There, fixed it for you.

    I know what certain Fortune 1000 company runs. Try 1 IIS server for 'static' front page content; and a hundred Tomcat/Apache servers for other applications.

    Well, of course. If you have to run a business people don't have time to be compiling their web server from source etc. IIS is a superior web server in that it is secure and easy to set up and configure. Open source zealots don't get it, which is why they can't even shower.

    As far as his manager is concerned, he did master it in a weekend. Now piss off.

    Stop with that retarded "M$" bullshit. It isn't even remotely clever or effective. You're the same kind of moron that uses "Worst Buy", "Mall-Wart", and "Starsucks" and thinks they're Johnathon fucking Swift.

    Well I thought assertion would be better than disingenuous pseudo question, but there you go, can't please everyone.

    In a word, you're a moron. Why use IIS? Other than .NET why would anyone use it? Why would you tie yourself to that piece of crap.

    Honestly if your expousing the virtues of .NET then you really haven't developed in .NET. If you like C#, then you should use Java, because that's what C# is. Java would give you a better avenue in development - certainly more stable.
