Now, I know there's all of those people out there that swear by Microsoft products, claiming that their more stable and have a better future because of the company that supports them - and this includes those who prefer IIS over Apache for their web servers. Well, there's a new article over on the searchWin2000.com site that talks about IIS versus Apache.

This article was written by a member of the Apache Software Foundation, so he does talk a little bit more about the Apache side of things than IIS, but it's still interesting to read what he says. One of the coolest:

How do you deflect concerns that Apache might go away?
It can't go away. There is no company to go out of business...If the Apache Software Foundation said it would no longer work on Apache, someone would pick it up. We can continue to get new blood, and new developers can improve the server over time.

Ironically, Microsoft declined a comment for this story (gee, imagine that).
