I have a question about your list of commercial users referenced on your 
site.  Specifically is hotmail.com still running on FreeBSD?  I work for a 
systems integrator and we had a Microsoft tech guy up here (in Alaska) 
working with us on a project.  As technical types are apt to do while 
working at 2:00 AM we were talking about other project we have worked on.  
During some point one night, while we were waiting for a cluster of Win2K 
servers to reboot (again), he mentioned that hotmail.com was migrated to, 
"an entirely Microsoft based environment" except for a few "legacy" bits & 
pieces.

Two hours of loud discussions amongst the four or five guys there that 
remotely searched the web & probed the hotmail.com net for some proof of 
this claim came up empty.

So...I figured I'd ask you folks for your less-biased report of the number 
of FreeBSD boxes they use and what "degree" of truth there might be to his 
claim.  While I'd never doubt a Microsoft representative from, um, 
stretching the truth a bit I have my own personal doubts about NT/MS 
Exchange supporting hotmail.com with just MS labeled products.

thanks,

dan garrett
