Microsoft Drops Further in Web Servers Ranking, But Latest Contender to Beat Microsoft is Proprietary Nginx

Nginx



Summary: The 'open core' (meaning proprietary mixed with free) Web server product from Russia is toppling Microsoft, but is this cause for celebration really?

There is a great deal of news about open core (proprietary) Web server software Nginx, which is beating Microsoft. Some links below shed light on what's new and iophk corrects one article by saying "I thought nginx already passed Microsoft" (true).



"In the last chart," he says, "nginx is ahead of Microsoft" (see latest links below or this page).

"Earlier this year 'other' was ahead of Microsoft," iophk says, "putting them temporarily in 4th place."

He correctly adds that "nginx has been moving to open core for a while now, it looks like a problem." It would have been better if Apache got all this share.
