that's a pretty weak argument. first off, macs predate windows XP (and 
windows in general) - fraknly i've never run XP for anything... most 
webservers *are* apache... and as for sendmail... no we don't run 
sendmail we run things that are functionally equivalent to sendmail but 
much easier to setup & maintain and that have some added features. 
y'know ... kinda like svn vs. cvs.
