Apache's first target was UNIX, not specifically GNU/Linux. I'm
sure you and others are right when you say not many people are running
Apache servers on Windows, but neither is it measure of GNU/Linux share.

Bottoms does use Apache; I dunno about Ballmer.

What about {Net,Free,Open}BSD? BSD has been in the game a long time.
I'm not sure on their numbers (I'm not sure anyone is, for that matter),
but I'd say it's more reasonable to consider how many Apache servers
might be running on them than on OS/2.

I don't think anyone that's happy about the successes of Linux is going
to get too depressed because some of that success actually belongs to
BSD. I know they can get religious, but they're basically on the same team.

Adjusting in the other direction, doesn't Google run Linux on pretty
much everything?
