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."

    Not likely - if you look at the Netcraft charts, you can see the decline's been steady and consistent for several months (6-9-12 or so IIRC. No, I haven't read the article yet because I was only looking at the Netcraft survey & getting depressed a couple of months back, and I know that I'll be mightily cheered up by the comments in a few hours' time -- the lame humour, I-for-one, accusations of M$-funded FUD, assertions that it's because Windows shops are all full of fules and madmen... and so on. That really gives me hope that Free software will triumph in the end.

  2. HELP! My LAMP is now LLPR! by Jeff+Carr · · Score: 5, Funny

    Help me! Seriously, I need a new technology.

    I like LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) as much as the next want-to-be web developer out there.

    Started with FAMP (FreeBSD), to LAMP, to LAPP (PostgreSQL)...

    But now I'm ridiculously on LLPR! (Linux, Lighttpd, PostgreSQL, Ruby)

    Can someone please develop something with a vowel?!?

    PHP is widely acknowledged to suck,

    More than that, all /. readers know full well, that PHP is actually very good at sucking while .net is pathetic, even at sucking.

  4. Subsection A, Paragraph B.... by encoderer · · Score: 4, Funny

    Subsection A, Paragraph B clearly states that boat analogies must be used in lieu of car analogies on all Microsoft vs. OSS stories. We just don't have the technology to construct a metaphorical car powerful enough to overcome the figurative bullshit.
