    From what I've been told, some Microsoft developers attempted to make it
    much easier to modify this but the marketing geniuses said no because if
    more clients did this, Microsofts market share would appear to be less.
    I'm not sure what Apache's excuse is.
    
    With IIS I believe all  you have to change the file
    Winnt\System32\Inetsrv\W3SVC.DLL file.  The caveat there is that it
    normally will say: Microsoft-IIS/5.0 but if you replace it, you have to
    have the same number of characters.... It'd be kind of cool to put in
    something like: Palm OS Webserver. Sure if you are really determined you
    can figure it out but it would throw scripts and scanners off.
