OK, assuming that IIS => Windows is plausible, but remember that Apache is
Free Software and is available on an absurd number of platforms. If there
are more _Linux_ servers alone than Microsoft, then I'd say the Apache
numbers would almost certainly constitute a stranglehold.
You should probably have made sure of what your numbers meant before you
tried to argue with Christian - I suspect he did not read your irrelevant 
numbers, having already read the relevant ones himself.
