It came to me today, as I struggled with a programming issue at work.
I wanted to swap from using Apache web server to IIS web server.
You cant download IIS anywhere. Its only on the Microsoft CD.
So, if you have a Linux PC and a Windows PC sitting next to each other, and you want to try some software, on the Linux PC, you just get what you need from the web. On the Windows on, you have to dig though the 8000 odd CD’s scattered in your cubical to find the Windows one that came with the computer…. blah, its all too hard…
No wonder more web servers run Apache than IIS. (Second graph down).
