For that matter, ColdFusion under both IIS and Apache on either Windows or Linux (though the only couple installations I've seen have been on Windows/IIS). You could get a reasonable ballpark from something like netcraft, but I think Stuart is right on the money when it comes to the problems you'll have with margin of error. For that matter, I wonder how useful some of the newer smashups I've seen like builtwith.com really can be, if sites are configured to hide the headers that identify the server software and/or supported languages.
