But then weren't the old inflated Apache numbers a "fib"?

The former Apache users had a technical reason for their selection of Apache. They switched to IIS / Microsoft Server 2003 because, IMO, Microsoft paid them to do so. Certainly GoDaddy would not make a press release about a minor server switch without some sort of incentive.

So, I see a reason to name one an honest switch and another one a fraud. Notice that I am currently using Lighthttpd, not Apache, for technical reasons. I didn't give in to a temptation to change the server ID to Apache.
