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.

You can implement open standards without open source.
You can, but there is no guarantee to anyone that standards will be kept to. Microsoft have done this many times in the past. There is a guarantee with the use of open source software simply because it's not possible to keep anything proprietary.
They do go together a lot, but you can't lump them together.
Yes you can. The two are joined at the hip, because with open source software you simply can't keep anything proprietary if the source code is there for people to see and use.

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