According to your link Market Share for Apache is 52% and Microsoft
platform is 35%.
35% Market Share certainly is not "Asp plays a certain role on certain
commercial servers".

Read in the doc:
"Many of the new Apache sites are hosted at ThePlanet.com, which alone
saw growth of 2.6 million sites.
As has been the trend for the past few months, hundreds of thousands
of the new sites at ThePlanet.com
are link farms hosted on Polish (.pl) domain names and contain little
more than pornographic text links to
other sites within the same domain.

We were talking about "compiled vs interpreted" aspects of serious
sites, zillions pornographic and other
scam Apache-based sites usually do not require programming at the
level when "compiled vs interpreted"
aspects plays role.

And all these millions personal blogs based on some template do not
require programming at all.

And, I beleive, not all corporate servers were reached by Netcraft in
its survey, say banks and large businesses.
Also you should take into accont multi-billion intranet software
ASP.NET market based on MS Windows.

So when it comes to more or less serious business programming not just
porno or social sites, ASP.NET
will take much more than 35% Market Share.
