Yes it's quite funny. Just like people debate Apache vs. Nginx back and forth here while Microsoft is laughing all the way to the bank taking almost all the profits from the web server market with IIS.
- hkarthik 15y agoTerrible comparison, IMO. Microsoft doesn't sell IIS standalone, it comes bundled with their server licenses. The Windows Server, Exchange Server, SQL Server licenses are what make the money. IIS is just included in all of them. If they tried to charge money for IIS and shipped it for any other OS, it would fail pretty quick as it's not very sys admin friendly and most of it's performance is heavily dependent on Windows threading model.
- socially-distnt 15y ago"profits from the web server market"... WHAT profits? Apache & Nginx are both... wait for it... FREE! So is the underlying OS. And who's number 1 and 2 in the market? Oh yeah, Apache and Nginx...
