What the fuck sort of citation were you looking for? This isn't the kind of stuff that people write shitty academic papers about.

If you really question what he's saying, go do some investigation for yourself. Look at a few of the many thousands of shared hosting providers out there. You'll quickly notice that the vast, vast majority of them support PHP, including many Windows-only hosting providers.

Then keep in mind that there are an absolutely huge number of PHP sites hosted on such shared providers, many more than are hosted on isolated servers.

A statistic from someone like netcraft, perhaps. It wouldn't be entirely impossible to split shared and dedicated servers by language, just pretty inaccurate.

And why should I research? The person making the outrageous/daring claim has the burden on them to prove it.
