http://www.netcraft.com/Survey/Reports/9903/bydomain/com/ is the .com
domain (nominally American); Apache has 54%; MS has 24%.

http://www.netcraft.com/Survey/Reports/199903/platform.html is worldwide
by platform; the OS is not identified, but Apache is over 58% and NT is
25%.

While we're here... http://www.netcraft.com/Survey/influence.html - why
is egg.microsoft.com so high in the list, and why is it running Linux?
