“Microsoft-IIS had its first big rise in almost a year, gaining
1.8% of the web. Around 600,000 of these sites are on Digital
Island’s network. The relatively static market share for
Microsoft on the web as a whole contrasts sharply with its progress
in our companion SSL Server Survey where Microsoft makes consistent
and relentless gains, month after month, and now accounts for 49%
of the sites performing encrypted transactions on the
internet.”

“Linuxworld is proceeding at time of writing, and significant
early announcements include Silicon Graphics appointing Paul
McNamara, previously VP of Business Development at Red Hat as VP
responsible for Opensource. IRIX’s share of the web has been in
decline since Netcraft first developed operating systems detection,
and SGI may now feel that they have little to lose by a
wholehearted endorsement of Linux. SGI has more revenues than the
Linux industry companies put together, and if it can sustain its
customers attention, it could make the transition to a Linux
platform more readily than HP or IBM, which have significant value
in their own proprietary platforms.”
