Sorry, I'm a bit behind on my mailing list reading, but last I read Hotmail
still had some FreeBSD back-end systems.  This is the most recent article
that I could find doing a quick search:

I know that this was in December, but I guess I don't consider that a long
time.  Maybe the migration has been completed by now.  Is it really a big
deal?  Dunno.  I had all kinds of things to say about it and decided not to.
I have a lot of respect for Laura's knowledge of Windows and don't want to
come across like I don't.  I'd be happy if I knew half what she did.

Mike
