Firefox's 'retreat' ensures Microsoft excels

First, web servers are a product that MS actually tries to make money on, unlike IE.

Clue phone: We're talking about ownership of Web standards here. Not server revenue. Apache may, in fact, have the largest web server market share (on WWW, not within corporate firewalls, though), but the pages that it serves up are designed entirely for IE. Owning the front end is extraordinarily valuable to MS. It means that Apache and other web servers aren't in control of the content where the rubber meets the road... And, as I said earlier, I would prefer to see American commercial interests driving this facet of the Web, not a bunch of OSS zealots -- who would give away any American advantage to a bunch of foreign losers...

And nobody will give a spit.

Well, nobody except the >80% of the world's computer users.

Sheesh.

I guess being in the WTO means that China can't be placed in Tier 4 eh? Damn those politicians!

Apache runs on all sorts of operating systems - not just windows.

Then quit putting a graph of Apache up attempting to claim anything about Windows webservers, since they aren't differentiated in the graph. Elementary, to most.

[N3WBI3]

They have fixed that, you now get upgrades not whole new programs..

[flashbunny]

"Maybe it's because companies are consolidating web servers and Windows can handle it better than Apache."

HAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAA.

Do you have any experience running admin on web servers? Installing them? Optimizing tem?

The people that take it seriously - when it's run by the geeks in charge and not some executive who makes decisions on brand name alone - they chose apache. Overwhelmingly.

Past tense, noted.

How clueless and or dense are you?

I NEVER MENTIONED WINDOWS SERVERS!!! I MENTIONED WEB SERVERS GENIUS!

ALL webservers, NOT just windows. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OPERATING SYSTEMS!!!!

And unlike IE, it's a produce MS tries to make money from! That is why it is significant!

GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD, IF YOU CAN EVEN COMPREHEND WHAT THE ISSUE IS!

Sheesh, you and bush2000 will grasp at anything.

[Bush2000]

Stop screaming, Gomer. You're beginning to soil yourself.

[flashbunny]

Oh, should I now highlight how you spelled "attornies" wrong before?

Ok, they CHOOSE- as in present tense, as in will in the future - THEY CHOOSE APACHE!

MS has peaked on web server share, and it will only go down. The trend is always towards reducing costs, and it's a game MS can't win, unless it decides to offer their web server for free.

[flashbunny]

I'm not screaming, genius. I'm highlighting the obvious for people to dense to realize it on their own.

(to make it clear, it's you and your buddy tin turkey, seen here in the photo below)

[Golden Eagle]

LMAO, there you go with the big fonts again when your BS gets exposed! ROFL again!

ANOTHER lie. IIS has dominated the Fortune 500/1000 for years.

[jbstrick]

Don't be a fool.

I work for a fortune 5 company who does a ton of work on China. Everything within the borders of that country belongs to the government or is subjected to surveliance by the govt. We have to assume our corporate network in that country is breeched.

I would not think that 'forcing' the chinese to sit in a room with lawyers is a good comparison, because it just does not happen.

BTW, I love Microsoft. Without them, I would be broke and on the street.

[TXnMA]

Be my guest and try to debunk it. Go ahead. I dare ya.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"falling from 8.7% to 8.1 % in July..." = "demise"

It is self-debunking -- to anyone other than a self-delusional MSheep...

[flashbunny]

wow, you two are dense. Do you act this obtuse because you can't win on facts?

What BS got exposed, turkey boy?

How you tried to say I was talking about windows or operating systems or jellybeans or whatever the hell you said I was talking about, when I clearly (I even included a colorful picture for the slow witted) was talking about WEB SERVER SHARE?

I guess that really is your strategy- act like fools on any threads concerning open source, make one point then move to the other, falsely accuse other posters of saying something they didn't - and then go the good old "commie" route when things get really tough. All because you can't win on facts. Just act like little children until the people on the other side give up in exasperation at your idiotic behavior.

You guys are a real asset to MS - if they wanted to short their stock and destroy their company. You could be hired by them to be part of their elite "shooting ourselves in the foot" team...ready, aim, fire - "Hey, bush2000, I just shot off my big toe! That will show those open source commies!!!"

[Golden Eagle]

self-delusional MSheep...

Just one of the 90% of Americans who use their products, obviously as we can clearly see here there are some lunatics in that remaining 10% fringe.

[PAR35]

Thanks. In that case it is probably about time to update. I started at about 0.7 and have upgraded 2 or 3 times since then.

[suzyq5558]

I tried the FF feeds and prefered TB over the FF feeds. im going to check out the link you sent me thanks!

[Golden Eagle]

What BS got exposed

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.
