Microsoft do indeed run IIS 5 on all of thier web sites, the backend of hotmail however is Free BSD (or open?), not only this Microsoft get an outside company (the name of ehioch escapes me) to host all of thier DNS machines and these run Unix (Linux I think). So, it's quite obvious that inspight of Redmonds claims they still try to sell a second rate OS that even they can't use properly!
*Now scanning server at 207.46.230.220 on port 80...
*Informations on domain "www.microsoft.com":
---Server software: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
---Sever time: Thu, 13 Dec 2001 20:53:02 GMT
*GET "/backstage/_index_defaultpage.htm"...
*GET "/default.htm"...
*GET "/misc/data/idc.htm"...
...so on and so fourth...the website is huge...I'm not going to post up everything. But as you can see....Http://www.microsoft.com is running on Microsoft-IIS/5.0 ...
And besides..Oracle talks trash all the time. Well...not necissarily trash, but talk is cheap were there from lets say. I'll end it with that.
Ahh yes, as if the server header is proof of something. Try that on Google.com. You know, you can (given that you're able to edit the source) modify an Apache header to reply with Microsoft-IIS/5.0...Quote:

At any rate, I highly doubt that's what they've done, just don't consider the Server: header to be the be-all and end-all of webserver OS Fingerprinting....
No Google involved. Just goto: IntelliTamper's Website and pick up the latest copy of IntelliTamper.
- Exerpt taken from http://www.intellitamper.com/infos.php -
After downloading (I have Version 2.07) a version for yourself. Punch in www.microsoft.com - and in the first two boxes (the top two) just read what it says. I just copied some of the stuff I got. Nothing big.Quote:
Tired of closing and jumping between multiple popup windows, thousands of stupid links on a single page, sites without real content and only ads, etc... ? IntelliTamper is a small and easy-to-use program which will tell you what is really behind any Web site.
Just type in the address, let the IntelliTamper spider works and read the pages for you, and you will be able to access the files and browse the folders like if they were on your own hard-disk !
IntelliTamper is also able to scan a website for unlisted files and folders with a dictionnary based scan. Results are displayed in real time in the window with various informations on progression. Files and folders found are displayed in a friendly mini Windows-Explorer. You can then open links found on pages in your browser, send emails to addresses found on pages, open distant files and save them to your harddisk.
Lates.
Actually, even if Microsoft doesn't use Windows to run their systems I would understand why. It's just like the airlines industry, the CEO wouldn't dare fly on one of his/her commercial planes. They would rather go on their fancy jets, a.k.a. Unix.
hotmail test server http://hotmail.com. is also runnin IIS5
