Security Space has some free research reports. You can get something
kind of like what you want by going to
http://www.securityspace.com/s_survey/data/index.html
then clicking on the "web srvrs by domain" link. For each TLD you can
link on the TLD link and get a breakdown of webserver software.
This doesn't tell you a lot about OSes since Apache (at 73.30%
globally) runs under multiple operating systems.
And it doesn't tell much about what *ISPs* are using. If I put up a server
toworrow and serve 3 pages a day, it's going to count for as much as that of a
major provider. Finally, it doesn't tell much about the popularity of servers
amongst tech savvy people.
But thanks for the link anyhow. It does seem stange to me that IIS had a 30%
market share in 2001 and only 20% now:

Why is this strange? 2001 was about when Code RED hit, and pretty much
took down a huge number of IIS servers (and did not touch Apache servers
at all). IIS servers are vunerable to various attacks and subject to
all of the problems MS-Windows is vunerable to. Apache has *never* seen
an attack anything like Code RED. Is it no wonder that people have been
moving from IIS to Apache. Esp. since many of the IIS 'specific'
features are now available with Linux/UNIX under Apache (ie .NET, ASP,
Frontpage exensions).
IIS has been steadily losing market share (or at least not gaining any)
for years now. There is no sign of this changing.
