There are two sets of statistics for web servers. One set shows the
number of domains running under each server (Apache, IIS, Netscape,
etc.), and Apache wins. The other shows the number of IP addresses
(because, of course, each http server may run multiple virtual domains),
and again, Apache wins. I don't remember the numbers off-hand, but I
know Apache is still ahead in publicly-available web servers. If IIS is
running on LAN servers but is unavailable from outside the LAN (i.e.,
the Internet), then it really isn't worth counting anyway.

This is certainly possible, although I *think* that even if IIS is
automatically installed, it must be configured to run -- the default is
to *not* run unless you tell it to. I could be wrong on this.
