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.
