Apache has been around longer and resides on systems that are geek friendly. considering the number of installations, the time it has been around, and that Apache is on systems that geeks love; does it not disturb you that there are still bugs? Especially considering how the open source folks hold themselves in such high esteem. > b) statistics is the art to lie..

Have you been to the moon? Is that not possible either? Until recently Apache was the number one target. Easy enough to figure why. There was more of them. I remember when the Netscape's server was being ridiculed daily, not that long ago I might add. Any new product will have bugs. That is a fact of life. Does MS software have more, maybe. The early versions of Apache, Netscape, AOL, TCP/IP, SSH etc... had their share of problems also. Sadly most people only see what makes their arguments look good. Since you sign with a comment about your O/S, it is obvious what side you are on. I seem to remember *nix and open source being laughed at when the Morris worm was roaming around. Short memories on this list.
