Last year in my post “Microsoft the new #1 web server?” I described the changes in web server market shares according to Netcraft. However, these statistics might give a somewhat wrong overall picture as Netcraft apparently counts every virtual host as one server.

If you look at the most recent web server survey from Security Space you will notice that the changes are far from dramatic (at least from Apache’s point of view). Furthermore it also looks like Netcraft are adjusting/reversing the trend displayed last year.

A lot of people today have experienced the usefulness of running the OS directly from the CD-ROM. With the speed of today’s CD-ROM’s the start up time is compatible with most hard disks. Only user data and settings are stored on the computer, which makes more space available on the drive. These settings can off course be kept on a USB drive for easy access/backup.

There’s also a few other benefits worth mentioning. If you do not need to store data, you can run your PC without a hard disk. And since you can’t overwrite normal CD-R discs the chances that someone should mess with your OS data is non-existent. Furthermore you will save a lot of time as the OS and all your favourite applications are already installed wherever you boot up your CD.
