Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 7th Jun 2006 21:32 UTC, submitted by Ricus
Internet & Networking Microsoft continues to gain share in the web server market, chipping away at Apache's commanding lead. The number of hostnames on Windows servers grew by 4.5 million, giving Microsoft 29.7% market share, a gain of 4.25% for the month. Apache had a decline of 429K hostnames, and loses 3.5% to 61.25%. Apache's lead over Microsoft, which stood at 48.2% in March, has been narrowed to 31.5%, a shift of 16.7% in just three months.

Sorry, but open source and open standards are two different things. You can't lump them together.

Of course they're different. One is a standard, the other is an implementation. But they can be equally important to maintaining interoperability. When your source code is open, there's no such thing as an undocumented change.

This statement, often used by people are Microsoft, cheeses me off. An open source implementation guarantees open standards, because otherwise, what's the point of it being open source?

You can implement open standards without open source. That's the point. They do go together a lot, but you can't lump them together.
