Those are hosted on all sor= ts of different platforms. I don't think you can really state that "Yahoo is b= ased on operating system foo" any more (for any foo) -- nor can you tell neces= sarily from the OS of the web front-end what the back-end application servers ar= e running. Whether Yahoo wants to spend a great deal of time and money homogenizing = the OSes their servers run on is an interesting question. I doubt it somehow: the= benefits of simplified administration almost certainly don't outweigh the costs or= justify the risks of service disruption.
