I'll cheerfully shout this from the rooftops. But I need a better cite than that. I can't go around saying "Terry Lambert says that Hotmail are still using FreeBSD for the webservers" if Sun (or others) are saying that they're using Solaris. Something from either Sun, or someone from Hotmail, would do quite nicely. Otherwise it just descends into mindless advocacy.
