When the economy goes south people have more trouble justifying the
expenses involved with using MS crapware. When the economy begins to
head back the other way, a large number of those who switched to Apache
will be comfortable enough with it to stay there, allowing them to save
the money they wasted on IIS so they have it for the next rainy day.

The perplexing part is that IIS ever made it to 1/3 of the market.

Where did those 2+ million bloggers go? 1.27 million went to Apache.
The others were probably Windoze fanbois who gave it up completely
since there aren't any "wins" in MICROS~1's future.
