Most people use Apache. How? To serve web pages most likely. There
are quite a few new projects using the Apache portable runtime that do
not necessarily serve up web pages however.

I have no complaints. Apache serves web pages just fine for me.
There may be some people who want to use Apache2 in threading mode.

I suspect it will be 75% or possibly higher in the next year. But I
make a living writing PHP, not looking into crystal balls, so I might
be wrong.

Right, but it was a commercial product that got the rug pulled out
from underneath it by a free product, IE. Apache is already free, so
IIS can't really do much harm there. Lighttpd may be one to watch
however: http://www.lighttpd.net/
