And I don't think it's a secret anymore that Microsoft use Solaris and Free BSD internally. Every person I've ever talked to that has been inside a Microsoft building has told me the horror within. I don't believe every word of it but it doesn't seem to much of a shock either.
I do remember the We have a way out ad. This was not Microsofts fault though. They were trying to sell the MS Server OS with Unisys's servers and had partnered with Unisys to do this. The website was hosted on Unisys's servers and not Microsofts. Unisys is a money grubbing company (like most others) that is selling servers with Linux and Windows.
I thought it was humorous as well.
One thing. Has anyone here been to the MS campus? You stop to take a picture and security guards march you off the premises. (If you dont work for Microsoft - its happened to me) So I would like to see any kind of evidence that MS is using Linux, Unix or a BSD. I would think that they would be stupid to not have a copy or two of other OS's to get ideas for their upcoming OS (or to steal ideas), but I highly doubt they would use any other OS for any kind of use in thier company.
