M$ is using linux now :O

This is a bit of irony for you :)

I stumbled across this link in one of the cafe forums (i was bored waiting for a 700mb file to download).

Theyre using linux!, probably because everyone keeps attacking them :) (granted, its not their own netblock but that cannot be good for the image surely!)

Theyre using their own webserver tho, but it looks like its apache thats taken over the world as far as webservers go:

It says Linux, but it also says IIS-6...?

Dont microsoft have to prove that office and the like will from now on run under a lynix system? I thought that was one of the anti-monopoly/anti-trust judgements against them.

I think it must be IIS running on linux not MS2003S , i didn't know that was even possible!

Wine can do a lot of different things. Many faster than Windows.

Makes you wonder if they're not 'just' misrepresenting the ID's pretending to run microsoft software, but missing one of them.

It can be a lot more secure for a webserver to pretend to be a competing product, or something unknown/really obscure -- that way many of the scriptkiddie hacking tools will run the wrong (=harmless) cracks against the server, failing in the process. But somehow I seriously doubt that they would even pretend to have a Linux server, since their corporate policy appears to be denying that Linux even *exists*, let alone that it could be better than MS software in some areas)
