Apache

- With a current Marketshare of 49.49 %, Apache is the leading webserver software on the internet

Microsoft

- Microsoft's IIS webserver holds a signifigant chunk of the marketshare. Recent increases can
most likely be attributed to the release of Windows Vista. A similar peak appears around the 2001
release of Windows XP

Sun

- The Sun webserver has remained on a steady, but gradual decline since its introduction.

lighttpd

- lighttpd is a server designed for speed-critical environments. Wikipedia and YouTube both use
lighttpd thus contributing to its recent boost in internet usage

Google

- Until recently, Google used a modified Apache as their webserver platform. The GWS (Google
WebServer) is Unpublished software, but is said to be based heavily on the apache code. The GWS
is used internally, and does not appear to be licensed to other companies running similar internet  environments. It accounts for 5.70 % the internet.
