there is nothing to suggest the market will change much,

Apache on something for ISP's - excellent choice for an ISP
IIS on NT4/Win2k for Commercial systems - outstanding performance from win2k
will strengthen this

Some JSP/Servlets/EJB will sneak in more, via Resin and websphere as
examples .. still slow by comparison to IIS on win2k
Some PHP will sneak in - even on IIS

The top two hold the bulk of the market, which indicates investment, which
costs significantly. Over that there is not much else

This will depend on existing in-house IT expertise which will drive standardization.
For example, if your a big relational database shop with alot of SQL expertise
you will most likely go the ASP route or Cold Fusion, however if you're a
UNIX/LINUX C,PERL shop you will most likely go PERL / CGI. It's really a
matter of preference and expertise as most of these technologies will do
the job for you. As long as you can support existing apps and manage change
it's all up to you...
