Linux vs. Windows - Web server market share

[scorch94]

Hi, guys!
I've got one question.

Who dominates on web server field?
Linux or Windows?

I think it's Linux but I've heard some stories that Windows has more than 50%.

I don't really know if it's true, that's why I ask.

Is it nonsense or it's true?


I hope to see some fast replies here

I've seen more hosting companies use Linux than Windows. Windows I believe means you have to have a license or something, may be wrong though while Linux is free to use. Not to mention, with new extensions out for Apache and the like, Windows Hosting isn't used very much, and to mention that, it's usually more expensive than Linux hosting as well.

Like precise data on how much percent of servers use Linux?
