Re: [newbie] ms-linux again?
as a democrat from Dade County Florida, who was out of state for the elections, and did not vote (possibly thereby being 2% of the population responsible for the current administration, and if we count my mom who did not vote because I was out of town ...hmmm.

an intersting article from http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,41454,00.html wired news But sources close to the company insist that Microsoft had indeed been the victim of a denial of service attack on Thursday. It also appears that Microsoft has now handed over the management of its DNS routing systems to Akamai, and may be running Linux on at least one of its servers.

Re[2]: [newbie] MS Linux?
When they bought HotMail, they tried to convert the servers to NT, but it was a complete disaster (as you might imagine.) So they had to switch back to the original platform. I don't recall which unix flavor it was though.

Re: [newbie] MS Linux?
http://www.hotmailsux.com/ should do the trick. I stumbled upon it while trying to do the same thing as you, Mike (i.e. convince friends how crap Hotmail and Microsoft is). However, it states that Hotmail began with FreeBSD (not Linux), and after a failed attempt at moving it to NT, it is now back on FreeBSD. Also on that site are good links, including one to get free webmail at microsuxx.com. I made an account, and I can say it's pretty good (and quite speedy too). I remember reading in a reputable computer publication (I don't remember which one) a while ago that for a (very) brief time M$ had part of it's microsoft.com site running on Linux with Apache, and some pages had Linux links. This apparently was *fixed* as soon as word got out. This could well be true, especially since Bill has been known to have held shares in Linux companies in the past.

I missed something of this thread, it seems. MS did try to make the transition from Linux to Windows NT after they took over Hotmail, and they put in a LOT of effort and money. The problem that they faced, however, was that there was no combination of NT-computer/memory/disk and windoze mailserver that could handle the amount of accounts (millions) and e-mails (gazillions per day). They tried setting this up for 4 months, shadowing the load of the Sparc's that Hotmail used to NT machines in each conceivable configuration. It did not work. So they did not choose Linux, they were just doomed to continue using it, in a way, since their own product was not able to make it work. The only thing that I know of that MS did for Unix (not even specifically Linux), is build some things for Apache so that can support "BackPage" extensions. (Who'd want that with PHP anyway.) I know about the limitations of win NT compared to Unix. At work we use a bit of a database that continuously calculates processes (1.6 million measuring points that are updated every 2 minutes).

OTOH, what you say is perfectly true, I mean the fact that a large company like MS should put in some effort into contributing towards a stable, reliable and dependable OS. It may not be Linux, FreeBSD, it is enough if they make something that works well, and is rock solid. But then, they'll have to write it from scratch, coz DOS can never give the stability of the Unices. Sthitaprajna | (at)mailandnews(dot)com
Re: [newbie] MS Linux?
That is somewhat scary. It reminds me what Gates said few weeks ago. The secret of MS success, is the stupidity of other company's, and that he would destroy MS if he would take over another company very fast. But to takeover Linux movement, it's a long shot at best, I think. Like linux doesn't belong to Red Hat, it will be hard to belong to any company. Al the best, George
