Re: Biased study, unscientific methods
"IIS offes the agility to allow my firm to enjoy one degree of separation while experiencing great moments in business history. APache is the bane of my existence. I hate sharing the information superhighway with freeware loving Apache users."

Umm... I can't help but laugh histerically at these demagogical statements. Talk about unscientific.

Just because your firm is 100% IIS doesn't mean that Netcraft's study is biased. It's nice that you are totally happy with IIS and with paying MS their license fees. Meanwhile, most of the rest of the world will likewise enjoy the use and control they have with Apache.
