Not at all, there's a lot you can do with pure Apache (or using PHP, perl, etc for dynamic page generation). If you need a middle tier, there's Apache Tomcat, or JBoss. No need for anything commercial in there.
PHP is a software engineering monstrosity that should've never come alive.
Tomcat for EJB-less middle-tier and JBoss for full Java EE are fine I give you that. Still it is the small companies that prefer these over commercial counterparts. Besides we're talking Apache web server and not Apache Tomcat.

Yup... Ok.
Of course, this is only bad news for fanboys as the total market share for IE will continue to shrink badly until at least the release of IE9.

Really? I thought that Apache was used mainly by the Mickey Mouse web site developers. Most companies use IIS because they already have the Windows infrastructure.
Now... earlier there was a statement that open source apps are stable, not as flashy.
The problem is... the average consumer wants flashy & limited use. Apps have been getting more and more specific, almost niche lately.
And when a lot of the "industry standards" are not open source, it's an uphill battle to sell that to the average consumer.
I would love to see more announcements that would wrangle in the average consumer so I'd know the OS would continue to get support. That concerns me... the open source crowd are rather nomadic. Pick up, go where they fit the best, and can pick up their "settlements" quickly and easily. That's not always a good thing for a new platform. Some established companies are what's needed.

Firefox continuously grows in the market share. And as is explained in that article, it's doubly impressive because IE comes with the most popular OS.
Which means a vast majority of the FIrefox market is actually taking away FROM the IE market. Users have to manually install and use that browser - and it's always on the rise.

Preemptive multitasking will never be adopted by serious Operating Systems, as queuing processes in a stack and allowing each one to finish in series is a vastly more optimal use of CPU bandwidth.

Multi-tasking really doesn't matter when you don't have apps.

How can Apache kill IIS? In most professional correspondence I've done with clients Apache was ALWAYS a dumb front end to IIS or some other middle tier. Straight Apache only sites are good for nothing.
With Apache all you can do is PHP/CGI/Perl/maybe Python which all are Mickey Mouse technologies. With IIS, you can have .NET.

You don't bring anything to the table other than hot air and no understanding of what's actually out there. Apache is almost a standard now in regards to Mac, Linux and Windows http daemons now. IIS is "decent", but it's still not as robust as most would require or need in true enterprise environments.

Since you do not... I'd say learn more before addressing me.

Back to the subject at hand and less about you - I don't like wasting my time with people too often; more companies is a good thing.
If I've helped you or you use any of my packages feel free to help me out.
