Sure but these are webserver software stats, not OS stats - you can run
Apache on Windows after all (in fact we have to for a few of our clients
at my work). I'd like to see some stats on Windows (web)servers against
Linux ones, but I think it'd be more evenly matched than the 60/30 or so
that it is on apache vs IIS comparisons.

Cheers,
Mark.
