    Interesting. There are several anniversaries related to Charles Darwin this year, including 150 years from the publication of the "Origin of Species", and we are celebrating... year of Astronomy?

      150 years isn't that significant an anniversary. Wait another 50 years and we'll build a shrine. Not to mention this is the month of Easter, when we should really be focussed on Jesus Christ who died and was resurrected nigh on two millenia ago. Did you die on the cross for the sins of mankind?

    I agree, I think IIS is the best web server platform available. Microsoft does a great job pushing out new features, and bugs are always stomped out with quick, timely patches. Personally, I have 5 different websites up and running with IIS solidly performing in the background. It's great for a mid-size business owner like myself. We have only experienced 25% downtime! I highly recommend IIS.
