Will Microsoft IIS Overtake Apache?

Posted by timothy on from the netcraft-hints-at-it dept.

First time accepted submitter jcdr writes "February's 2014 Web Server Survey by Netcraft shows a massive increase [in the share of] Microsoft's web server since 2013. Microsoft's market share is now only 5.4 percentage points lower than Apache's, which is the closest it has ever been. If recent trends continue, Microsoft could overtake Apache within the next few months, ending Apache's 17+ year reign as the most common web server."

    Unless you're hosting simple static web pages IIS is better in almost every way, easier to manage, easier to configure, etc...

      And you are clueless and have no idea what you're talking about. Have you ever used both IIS and Apache? It's not even close.

      Sorry, neckbeard ra-raism isn't going to change the fact that IIS is more powerful, has easier configuration management, better and simpler security configuration, excellent and easy integration with .NET apps, nicer deployment features, etc...

  2. Netcraft confirms:Microsoft is dying by jkrise · · Score: -1, Troll

    Microsoft cannot any further afford the wages of their long standing chair-flinging American CEO; so they went and hired a cheapo H1B visa Indian instead. Microsoft's demise is imminent.
