On Kuroshin, John Chamberlain writes about Netcraft’s server statistics for 2003, which seem to show that the open source Apache Web server is gaining significant ground against Microsoft’s IIS, which is bundled with its server software

“Since October 2002 market share has grown from 53% to 64%, a 20% gain while Microsoft IIS, its nearest competitor has shrunk from 36% to 24%, a 33% decline. The change in server totals was even more dramatic. Apache HTTP Server increased from about 20 million to 32 million (+60%) while all other competitors remained flat. What are the driving factors behind this trend?”
