Article: Microsoft Gains on Apache*

Wednesday, August 08, 2007 9:23:38 PM (GMT Standard Time, UTC+00:00)

This article was just shared with me, so now I'm sharing with you.

"Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Information Services (IIS) continues to narrow the gap with the open-source Apache Web server, with a survey firm suggesting that the longtime second banana could surpass Apache as early as next year.

Microsoft, which added 2.6 million Web sites in the last month, grew to 36.2 percent of all active Web sites, according to figures released Monday by U.K.-based research firm, Netcraft Ltd. Apache lost nearly a million Web site names, as its share of active Web sites fell to 48.4 percent." Full article..

My comments? .. None really.. But then again, I'm largely a Windows lad, so this may be good news.?

I remember recently godaddy switched from apache, and that was responsible for a HUGE drop in their market share. I wonder what else has happened to trigger such a turn around.
