Microsoft and Apache

,----[ Quote ]
| It all sounds good. But Apache is no threat to Microsoft, their projects run 
| on Microsoft systems and their license doesn't prevent "embrace and enhance". 
| Linux, GNU, OpenOffice, those are more of a threat. This is, obviously, a 
| strategic move by Microsoft. I'm trying to convince myself that we 
| didn't "get owned".

Microsoft has already invited Apache to Redmond in the recent past. What's
the /condition/ for this money-giving? Surely Microsoft is looking to gain
something. It's a business, not a charity.

| Apache, the world’s numero uno Web server, is going strong. As per Netcraft’s 
| December 2007 survey, Apache has close to 50% of the market with Microsoft’s 
| IIS coming second with almost 36%. The contender to watch here is Google 
| which is increasing its market share (now 5.5%) unlike all the other players 
| which are seeing slow declines.    
| 
| Talking of Netcraft, it has a rather interesting search that lets you find 
| out what OS any site is running and it lists download.microsoft.com and 
| search.microsoft.com as running Linux. Strange, if true.
