hey, congratulations on those two year old market share graphs -way to provide up to date information!
But again, it just proves what I said - when the people who know what they're doing make decisions, they CHOOSE apache. When the suits get involved, it's usually IIS.
Hey, do you have any charts from 2003 that show kerry is favored to win the 2004 election? They're probably just as relevant now.

The GSP requires participants to visit Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond to review the source code.

"It should be noted that Port80 Software has a horse in this race, however. The vendor's bread and butter comes from developing software that integrates with IIS to beef up the server's security and performance as well as enhance the IIS user experience."
SMACK!!!!!
An unbiased survey (33 months old) done by a software company that makes its money patching up MS's clunky web server software. HAH!
Great find there, mr turkey! I think you have a few more toes left to shoot off. Go ahead, take aim again. Everybody needs a good laugh.

Look at this way. IF IE didn't come with windows and people had to actually choose a browser, what do you think they would choose in a side by side comparison between FF and IE? It will just take more time, new marketing approaches and it'll be a never ending battle. I don't think FF is fading, just that it has peaked for a certain demographic.

"ROFL you still don't get it? You put up a chart of Apache then tried to claim it showed Windows servers declining when actually Apache runs on Windows. And you're still arguing about it, LOL."
HEre's what I said, copied and pasted EXACTLY as I wrote it:
"What's significant in this graph is that MS has stopped growing in its web server market share"
No where did I mention Operating systems. I didn't mention windows. YOU did. You tried to put words into my mouth. You, quite frankly, are nothing more than a liar.
And a really pathetic one at that. If you're going to claim I said something, it shouldn't be on the same thread where the information is plainly available that condtradicts your claim and reveals you to be a liar.
OK, I think you're done with you left foot now. Start taking aim at the right foot. Start with the big toe and work left to right!
Liar.

As Jesse said on SNL (the only time that I've ever really found anything he had to say funny), "The point is moot!"
It will just take more time, new marketing approaches and it'll be a never ending battle. I don't think FF is fading, just that it has peaked for a certain demographic.
It was inevitable. FireFox has exhausted the supply of bad-hygiene geeks.

port80 software makes its money patching up a sub-standard web server package from MS.
BTW, compared to your two year old graph, it shows Apache has made a 4% gain and MS has shown a .4% LOSS in the corporate market. OUCH!
Congratulations on continuously shooting yourself in the foot.
PS. You are a liar. Just restating what has been documented on this thread.

" The Top 1000 Application Servers Survey conducted last month by Port80 Software, a developer of tools for IIS Web servers"
Unbiased source right there. Kinda like the DNC touting a poll it did on Bush's approval ratings.
BTW, that storie shows MS's corporate share has declined in the past 2 years. Where's your news story on that? Is it a sign of the 'demise' of MS web server?

Wow you're really having trouble with the reading comprehension today aren't you? here is his post please find the part that says anything about the windows operating system
What's significant in this graph is that MS has stopped growing in its web server market share.
Hmm what is Microsoft's web server product?
a) Windows
b) IIS webserver
c) Linus Torvald's father was communist (I know you're not happy until you can say that)

LOL, you were supposed to bold your fonts when you started shrieking names, what happened, just wanted to shriek names without the bold fonts this time?
As anyone who knows anything is aware, a graph of Apache doesn't distinguish what operating system it is running on, and it could be a MS operating system. They do sell ~70% of all servers, of course.

Fine. Refute it. Show me
anything that contradicts it, if you can. But we both know that you can't produce jack squat to support your position that "bias" has twisted the results of the survey.
Here's a clue. One of the reasons that Micrsooft IIS got a lead in corporate networks was that Apache's support for SSL was way late, late, late.
Secure Server Survey
Microsoft controls nearly 40% of that server market.

Not representative of total number of users, since you typically have to download an entire new version just to get a simple security patch.
To: Bush2000
Yeah I couldn't really understand. I don't consider there to be another browser war until somebody besides IE get's over 20%, preferably 25%. Until then it's just playin in the fringe. I like FF, it's a good browser, I like having alternatives, but people shouldn't get crazy.
