Apache down, IIS up

Doctor Memory writes "Netcraft's June 2006 web server survey is out, and it shows IIS taking a dramatic upturn, at the expense of Apache. One of the biggest reasons cited is domain registrar Go Daddy switching to IIS for the domains it "parks". The report does go on to note that IIS is also making solid gains in active sites (including some large blog hosts), and further notes that it appears that large hosting companies are dropping Linux." Statistics are fun to play with, of course, but note that Apache's market share is approximately 30% higher than IIS's at the moment.

OMG

well, after the apache person got hired by google to write GoogleOnLineCalculator and GoogleOnLineMinesweeper, what'd you expect?

What good is that?!

Oooohhhkay.

So, after much years of expensive research dollars, Microsoft IE server has FINALLY become a highly optimized and finely honed webserver that serves just a single static page?

Most lopsided lie (um,,, I meant statistic) I've ever seen.

erm..

Lt. Col. Korn, XO: All you have to do is be our pal.

Colonel Cathcart: Say nice things about us.

Lt. Col. Korn, XO: Tell the folks at home what a good job we're doing. Take our offer...

Colonel Cathcart: Either that or a court-martial for desertion.

Microsoft: The number one choice for link farms!

It's happening again.

Now it's only a matter of time before the Apache are forced to live within reservations while their former home lands are turned into McDonald's and Best Buy lined freeways all running IIS. Really sad.

...GoDaddy's revenues fell markedly as people found they could easily break in and setup their own sites at the parked domains without having to pay for them.

In fact one of the very first things Bush did when he entered the White House was remove all of the DOJ lawyers on the Microsoft monopoly case who had any legal experience with monopolies.

Could you please provide a link to this information? I was unable to find any.

What, haven't you gotten the memo? One needn't back up anything bad one says about the current administration. Why, I heard that Bush is in league with the Martians in a plot to detonate the Sun!!!!!!!!

Apache down??

Great, first Black Hawk and now Apache :((
