Dave,

Here is a link to a site that has made a survey of operating systems on the internet, as well as their summarized results. This seems to confirm you view that MacOS is not a large presence in the Internet serving role.

I would be interested in comments others might have as to the validity of their approach to compiling this data. I think this is described on their site.
