do the type of stats software I use affect SE positioning?

this may be a dumb question, but do the type of statistical software, such as Urchin or AwStats, affect search engine results?

for example, I am thinking of switching from urchin to awstats... I don't think it will affect my SE positions but u never know...

I know that some server environments perform more poorly in SE's than other server environments...

any thoughts?

This seems like a false statement. Not only haven't I seen any evidence of this, but I could point out 10 sites ranking #1 on Linux / Apache and 10 raking #1 on Windows / IIS very easily.

Oh, and since those stats packages are JavaScript tags and engines don't read / understand JavaScript, no was meaning that it won't effect rankings.
