It doesn't have much to do with Microsoft Exchange indeed. Interfacing is easy from .NET, but that takes more than a simple webserver. Apache is missing out a lot on infrastructure-integration :) It's usually embedded in a LAMP-setup, destined to host wiki's, forums and blogs. Or am I mistaken by now? Wouldn't be the first time, and won't be the last time :laugh: Johnny ² wrote: Seeing as Apache currently has a larger share of the server market than Microsoft I don't think it has anything to do with wanting a marginal competitor. Largest part of the webserver "market" is hosting for wiki's, blogs and forums.. One tends to pick the cheapest thing that works, IIS would be kinda overkill there. A marginal competitor should be kept alive. It's far better than real competition!

Apache has been available for Windows' for some time now, so this would be somewhat redundant. Somehow, I don't feel like they are interested in catching some PHP-scripters..
