The number of active Windows Server 2003 sites more than doubled since July, according to the U.K.-based Internet services and research firm Netcraft. One in 20 of those Windows Server 2003 sites migrated from Linux, Netcraft found.

In all there were 185,000 active sites running Windows Server 2003, a 109 percent jump from July. That's a relatively small fraction of all Windows-based Web servers. It accounts for less than 4 percent of the 4.8 million Windows servers found during Netcraft's September edition of its monthly survey. Overall, most active sites don't run Microsoft Web servers, they run the Apache Web server, which has 13.4 million active sites.
