Windows Servers Dominate the Web
WinInfo | at | by Mike
In an interesting example of how one can alter the truth with statistics, Web survey company Netcraft revealed this week that servers running Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), not Apache, are more prevalent on the Web. In the past, Netcraft has awarded Apache the top spot by a wide margin, rather than IIS, because it was simply measuring Web sites, many of which are collocated at ISPs and hosting companies. But this time, Netcraft separated out the number of actual physical servers connected to the Web, and IIS came on top. By a landslide.
