I just can't keep myself from responding to this.<br><br>First, Microsoft "bought" this statistics, by going to large domain name<br>registrars and offering them incentives to park their domains on IIS to<br>
pump up the traffic. One of those is GoDaddy, and with the number of<br>domains they park, you see the spike in there.<br><br>Google is your friend for details.<br><br>Second, Netcraft's data conflicts with other statistics by other companies.

Whatever feelings we may have about Windows, the platform needs to stay
supported if we want Drupal to thrive in the future. <br>

As <a href="http://news.netcraft.com/archives/web_server_survey.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://news.netcraft.com/archives/web_server_survey.html</a> shows,
Apache declines dramatically in terms of server market share, and
Microsoft gets stronger and stronger. <br>
<br>
As a consequence, I think it is safe to assume that also the number of
Drupal installations on Windows will be increasing...<br>
