Is true that Microsoft doesn't use products Microsoft in web servers in half the time ?

It has been a very long time--the dot-com era--since I heard anything
about this. Apparently at that time, Microsoft was using FreeBSD for
hotmail and several attempts to convert it to a Windows platform had
failed.

The irony of this gave one of my co-workers at Linuxcare at the time
no small amount of delight. She was a strong FreeBSD advocate.

But I *think* they eventually overcame the hurdles and hotmail is now
running on a Microsoft platform.
