  Macdonalds and Microsoft
It seems that MS is a cultural failing, like Macdonalds. Note that the UK and Germany (and, surprise, .net domains) don't like them as much as the US-heavy .com, .gov and .org TLDs.

Interesting to see that the UK (and .edu) are much more willing to try something other than Apache or IIS than the rest of the surveyed world.

  Re: Macdonalds and Microsoft
It's more likely that there are a lot of ISPs in the UK using Apache with a modified server string, marking it as "other" in this survey.
