"yea Apache is near 70% of the web servers out there "

Microsoft IIS runs more commercial sites than any other web server out there.
That is where the real money is made.

"Fact is that the Fortune 500 companies that do use IE do not generally use them in a mission critical fashion"

They do.
Go to DELL.COM, which does more business online than any other web site on the planet.
What do they use? Microsoft IIS and Windows Servers.

..while Free software runs every site on the planet. No site, commerical or otherwise, would be able to run without it.

Citibank, Wells Fargo, Ameritrade, Amazon,... If you want secure stable Internet transactions you want to use Unix.

Good point about dell, too bad their average server uptime is less than two months. Where as Citibank's 90 day moving average is more than three times that...

Also can you provide me with some evidence that Dell does more business transactions in a day than Citibank?

Show me.

Go to DELL.COM, which does more business online than any other web site on the planet.

I highly doubt Dell beats Amazon.
