A survey of Fortune 1000 companies released this week by Microsoft Partner Port80 Software found that for the first time Microsoft’s Internet Information Services 6 Web server has outpaced Apache as the most popular Web server for corporate Web sites.

According to the survey that was conducted in August, IIS 6 held a 27% share of the Web server market among Fortune 1000s, compared to 23% for Apache. Overall, IIS 4, 5 and 6 combined to serve up about 55% of all Fortune 1000 corporate sites, compared to Apache’s 23% share, according to the Port80 survey.

At the same time, Apache continues to hold a dominant lead in the overall Web, handling 61% of nearly 98 million active sites in October, according to Internet services firm Netcraft. Microsoft served up 32% of all active Web sites in October, Netcraft said.
