Are you aware of your contradiction?..: " LAMP completely dominates the personal/community site sector, which also happens to make up the majority of the sites on the internet."

First off, the previous poster made no reference to LAMP dominating the enterprise. That was all you. Secondly, how can you claim that something is not the most popular when it makes up the majority of internet sites??? That sounds as ridiculous as saying that Microsoft Windows is not the predominant OS. It is merely installed on something like 90% of the world's computers.

"but in the enterprise LAMP does NOT hold 65% of the market."

Why in such a tizzy over this? Can you make your "all M$ all the time" attitude any more glaring? Guess what? Microsoft probably doesn't even have 20% of the enterprise! Ha! How bout dem apples?

"Popularity has nothing to do with it - it's the people who administer Windows servers. The vast majority of them tend to be inept when it comes to securing their machines."

Sure. ALL IIS administrators DON'T know what they're doing, but yet ALL Apache admins know exactly what their doing. Can you be any more embarassingly apologetic? Of all the millions of IIS installations, they are ALL run by incompetents. WHAAAAATEVER, my friend..your kool-aid is getting cold..; Posted by: Jeff Spicoli Posted on: 06/25/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
