Netcraft just says "Apache and Microsoft-IIS have dominated web server
technology over the past two years, with Apache's widespread use in the
internet industry itself, ensuring that it maintained and extended its
lead. Microsoft-IIS has extended its own position with self-hosted sites in
the same period, and overtaken Netscape as the most commonly used server
for encrypted transactions. 

Other changes over the period include the demise of the NCSA server to a
share of under 1%, the widespread adoption of HTTP/1.1, the emergence of
internet encrypted transactions from a base of around 7,500 sites two years
ago, and the rise of Intel powered systems, running NT, Linux, BSDI and
FreeBSD, at the expense of risc-based systems from Sun and Silicon Graphics"

I have sent a query to them, asking about the numbers.
