Microsoft's Web server software gained significant market share on rivals during March, according to a new survey, after two large domain-name "parking" services switched to Windows systems. In a monthly survey of more than 38 million Internet-connected computers conducted by Netcraft, Microsoft market share rose nearly 2 million to 12.9 million computers. Microsoft racked up a market share of 34.02, a rise of 4.89 per cent. Apache servers running on Linux dropped a similar amount, to 53.76 percent. IPlanet software from Netscape and Sun Microsystems dropped by about 200,000 to 2.33 per cent.
