Well, it is a bit of a secret. For example;

httpd -v
Server version: Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin)

Why is that? Does Apple not provide the resources to make this  
possible? Personally I think they should because the Mac is a great  
development platform. I think Apple would win more developers to the  
platform if it were more open and a bit more up-to-date. Not ****pping  
Apache 2 seems obstinate to me.
