Survey shows ASP.NET, IIS lead Fortune 1000

A recent survey of the Fortune 1000 websites by Port80 Software shows that Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS) usage has doubled over the last year as it is being used by 54.9 percent of companies. In contrast, Apache usage has dropped to 23.3 percent placing it 4 percentage points lower than IIS6 alone. While the results could very well be accurate, it should be noted that Port80 Software has a bias toward Microsoft as it is one of their partners, not to mention the company specializes in developing tools and solutions for IIS.
Port80 also performed a similar survey that analyzes Fortune 1000 use of application servers and scripting platforms. Like the web server survey, Microsoft again comes out on top with its ASP.NET platform being run by 48.4 percent of the companies. Other notables in the survey include Java at 12.7 percent, PHP at 5.4 percent, and ColdFusion at 3.1 percent. In order to find these results, Port80 analyzed HTTP headers from each company's site.
