Ex-Microsoft employees report Unix is all around

For the most part, according to our ex-Microsoftie, the company's 
money-making Web properties are all based around Unix, with Hotmail 99 
being 99 percent FreeBSD, MSN using some Apache on Solaris, bCentral ad 
servers on 100 percent FreeBSD, and WebTV pretty much entirely Solaris. 

"Internally when Windows 2000 was announced, people were told not to even 
think about using it for production because it was too unstable," says this 
ex-Microsoftie. 

So much for mature software written by professionals. It seems that, 
internally, Microsoft prefers the stuff "written by college kids in their 
basements."

Usenet Oldnews Archive

Take a trip back through the mists of time. This site archives old Usenet 
postings from 1980-1981. Interesting to see how much has changed in 20 
years, and how *little* has changed, as well.
