Nope, their site runs WinNT, you'd think they'd learn from their HotMail
experience, but they didn't. That explains why it's so slow. THe
Hotmail story goes that they tried to use WinNT when they bought it but
the system just wouldnt hold up. FreeBSD did. The end. If they'd
started Hotmail from scratch on WinNT it probably wouldn't exist right
now.
