The inaccuracy inherent in Netcraft's "surveys" are that they correctly interpret the web server (i.e. IIS 6.0, Netscape, Webshere, etc.), but can not get the underlying operating system correct. For example, we useIIS 5.0 running on Windows 2000, but have one of our sites already using IIS 6.0 running on Windows 2003 and are transitioning to IIS 6.0 and Windows 2003 with the rest of them over the next several months. If you punch in our web site URL, the return is IIS 5.0 running on Solaris 8! Well, we all know that is not possible, but what is possible is that are firewalls are running the Solaris 8 OS. Other of our subsidiary sites our running Netscape. Netcraft shows them running on Linux. That is not true. They are running on Solaris 8, but the firewalls are running on Linux.
