IIS 7.5 was apparently released October 2009, 7.0 before that. I believe the major rearchitecting of IIS was going from 5x to 6x, which was quite a while ago.

Coincidentally, Apache 2.0 was released exactly 10 years ago today, but there have been lots of point versions. Wikipedia says the most recent is 2.4.1, released 45 days ago.

So, comparisons of IIS 7.x vs. Apache 2.x may still be relevant even if they're a few years old.

A lot of ISPs are slow to change, NetCraft thinks your site is running on W2K/IIS5: http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://kuhngroup.com
