Rumor has it that Brian Knittel may have mentioned these words:
Which is very easy to hack... Besides, when I brought it up, it only
mentioned IIS (no version) on the "response page" which can say anything,
even in Apache.

Ummm, Doc, I think you fell for an April Fools prank.
If you view, say, http://www.wehavethewayout.com/xxx
you get a standard IIS 404 page, and the HTTP
response header say "Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0" I think Microsoft learned its lesion when
it took, what, a couple of years to migrate
Hotmail off of Unix onto NT/2000?
Or did I fall for the prank by responding? :/
No, because I telnetted to port 110 and they're running a slightly modified
Qpopper version 2.53 as a POP server, which does not have executibles for
Winders anything...
And besides, if it wasn't true, why was there this line:
"Representatives at Unisys and Microsoft weren't immediately available for
comment."
They'd be happy to comment if it wasn't running FreeBSD, which if they
finally did rid themselves over at Hotmail, they did it very recently...
