The Web Server war

Netcraft has published their last update of an independent survey about web server adoption in the world.

On Microsoft we always listen that IIS is gaining a lot on Apache, but the last Netcraft survey gives a clear response:

It's true that IIS is growing a lot while Apache is falling down, but the road to reach the rival is really hard for Microsoft's web server. Apache is the market leader but IIS is the most promising for the near future.

I'm curious to see the result of this graph when IIS7 will be largely adopted... what will happen?

this gives you an idea what's wrong with this statistics. some big providers moved theire hostnames to IIS. and you see this directly on the parallel increase/decrease of the lines.

in reality, i think, more hostnames are hosted on then on IIS, so i think the iis adoption is a bit higher than this statistic represents.
