If I understand the way they derive their figures, in the next survey the percentage for Apache will fall. They seem to list anything that is not vanilla Apache as something else. With so many changing to PHP-Apache, the success of PHP will distort their figures further.


Its a pity they can't measure Web throughput by server. I bet that would show an amazing bias towards Apache and its derivatives.

One dark cloud on the horizon. I assume a lot of the Web's commercial growth will now be in various forms of e-business. If Apache isn't part of an effective e-business suite it may loose out. I know IBM is using it in their e-business suite, but that isn't fully open source. I wonder how this will play out.
