Microsoft Lost a Ton of Market Share in Web Servers Last Month (the Last Month of 2024) and Massive Losses Continue in 2025, Shows New Report
A month ago: Another Terrible Month for Microsoft in Web Servers
Microsoft's bleeding continues. Based on this new report (Thursday, 23 Jan 2025 10:46:26), "January 2025 Web Server Survey", this is what happened to Microsoft in just one month.
Microsoft has fallen out of the charts in all other categories. It's considered quite irrelevant. It wasn't always like that. Microsoft used to have considerable share more than a decade ago.
So what happened to Microsoft in just one month? In a nutshell, over 50,000 servers of Microsoft got turned off or there's a net loss of over 50,000 (e.g. 20k coming "live" and over 70k decommissioned). That's an epic disaster and a major loss of revenue. Microsoft relies on the server market for a lot of its income. Servers are overpriced. They're notoriously "lucrative" as a market segment.
If this keeps happening every month in 2025, what will be left? Only about half what there was 12 months earlier!
Satya Nadella must be worried about what's going on with Microsoft's server market share. There are endless waves of Azure layoffs and they now rebrand "clown" (or shift terms) as "hey hi" (AI), boasting about fictional and made-up numbers only days before two waves of mass layoffs.
Find the writings on the wall.
In E-mail, or based on the Mail (MX) Server Survey, as of 2025 Microsoft only has about a thousand servers left. That's 0.2% of the whole.
In terms of %, in Web servers Microsoft is falling, plunging.
Imagine how that translates into 12 months (1 year). Microsoft is quickly approaching 0%. At this point IIS is barely viable (financially) to keep maintaining/patching/improving (development). █
