I do know that the stats on sites show MS actually has a rather small presence on the internet.

Trying to mess us up with facts? That is a good site and they tell the story behind thier stats. I notice for instance Cold Fusion is mentioned anywhere, yet I have not heard anything impugning thier security. The fact that Apache leads in all of the divisions and has over 60% of the Top 1000 doesn't necessarily mean that it is safe or anything, although it maybe, it means that it is popular maybe because it is free or just most used from the past and more people know it. Stats can be misleading. In my office originally I had 1 Unix server running on a machine with a 25 MHz chip and 2 MB ram with 6 dumb terminals (CRTs and Keyboards) = 1 computer 1 OS Do it with MS you have NT server 6 win98 or NT workstation = 7 computers 7 OS. Hence MS outselling Unix 7 to 1
