Funny story.

I use Brinkster as my web host because they were promoted by Microsoft when .NET came out as the .NET webhost to have.

All the goodies I run on my website?

PHP and mySql.

It's probably running on Apache too.

That includes WordPress, ZenCart, and MediaWiki.

Funny story.

Microsoft's marketing dollars made a LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySql/Php) believer out of me.
