Re: [OpenBD] OpenBD IIS - "Coming Soon"?

I think that - despite the recent advances by Microsoft which alters the percentage of systems using Windows - AW's case is also with the wisdom of using Windows. Consider his perspective: He's in the UK - where the penetration percentages might be wildly different than Netcraft's total numbers. I don't see where they break it down by continent or country (not that I looked all that hard), but I would just guess that MS has a greater share in countries that permit their licensing model to make them the most money.

Nginx has been steadily gaining share over the last 7 years, and is now used to serve just over 14% of all hostnames."   http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2014/09/24/september-2014-web-server-survey.html     A look at the latest Stats indicate that the Microsoft web server is still on par with past surveys and is second only to Apache as  a major portion of the market.   http://news.netcraft.com/archives/category/web-server-survey/     Developer February 2015 Percent March 2015 Percent Change Apache 342,480,920 38.77% 337,175,536 38.39% -0.38 Microsoft 253,484,221 28.69% 245,496,533 27.95% -0.74 nginx 130,093,899 14.73% 127,191,696 14.48% -0.25 Google 20,238,057 2.29% 20,097,702 2.29% -0.00     I Tend to work more in the Windows world than in the ‘Nix environment so my bias led me to advocate for a more Windows friendly product.  I understand if that Is not the direction OpenBD is to take but evidence indicates that it is not a market to  be dismissed as inconsequential.     -- -- online documentation: http://openbd.org/manual/ http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Open BlueDragon" group.
