Hi there,
I hate to inform you that this rumour has no truth. They do infact run NT
servers for their e-mail services -- see the headers from a message set
from within Microsoft. They do have a few NetWare servers from what I have
heard. ;-) I have replaced some of the stuff with xxxx's for some reasons.

If you have a look at it this way they have about 10+ NT boxxies (with
256Mb RAM) for their mailservice compared to one NetWare server running
Groupwise (with 128Mb RAM), compared to one NetWare Server running Mecury
MTS (with 128Mb RAM), compared to two FreeBSD Servers running exim (with
32Mb RAM each). ;-) Well one of my clients has a NT machine with 256Mb RAM
in compared to having 128Mb if they were to run a NetWare server running
Groupwise, or a FreeBSD Server.
