Re: [PLUG] Netraverse LUG Sponsorship Program


I think it was 64% by the last netcraft. of course, what do you call an
industrial site? i once read that companies whose websites were tied to
their business (aka: e-tailors, etc) were more likely to use unix +
apache,  where-as companies that simply were creating a presence (yes this
was a few years ago) were more likely to use IIS (bundling). This was a
long time ago and I no longer have the link. But maybe you could google
some similar stats.
