For the first time ever, the Apache Web Server is powering more than 50 million websites, according to Netcraft's Web Server Survey for October. Although relative share fell by 0.67 percent, the total number of sites powered by Apache grew to over 52 million. Microsoft's IIS finished second with more than 15 million sites served.

What I find interesting in this is, I remember a story a ways back that stated that MSN Search was giving preferential treatment to search done against sites that run IIS by default. 35 million websites are a big thing to go against in the variation when you can only prefer 15 million of them. That cant possibly mean that MS think it can take away the market share on Web Hosting....Something I believe that Ballmer stated was one of the 4 Hallmarks that was next going to be focused on by MS in general (the other 3 were Server clustering, Appliances, and SaaS -- Software as a Service).

No big deal. Does anyone you know actually use MSN search anyway?

My father used to, until I showed him Google and told him that if it had anything to do with Microsoft then I did not want to hear about it.

MSN what?? ;)

Before google I always used altavista....seems so long ago. Come to think of it 'Google' is a very good name: "google this, google that...". It works great as a verb. :)

They (google) dont want you to use google as a verb because if it is a verb, they cant own the copyright ;)
