MS ♥ Linux
Anyhow, it seems Microsoft loves Linux so much, 18 of its 24 Hotmail servers run flavours of Linux OS. Only 6 of the 24 use Microsoft's own Windows Server 2003. Either MS can't afford the licence fees (they are very expensive) or Server 2003 can't handle the workload.
Microsoft's previous server offering, NT was prone to going zombie and a re-boot was the only way to bring it back to life.
Here's a capture a screen capture of the web page.
Would Ford Motor Company use GM vehicles for its operations?
It must be Linux love.
Would be very cool if this was true and I almost reposted it. Really would have been awesome. But i looked in to it a bit more and the linux servers appear to be owned by some one else.
