if anyone's innarested this article at xml.com summarises the debate that's been
happening on the xmldev list since msn did the dirty.
http://xml.com/pub/a/2001/10/31/msn.html
and, by the by, didn't ibm carl say something about how msn.net has been outsourced to
akami(?) who run their server farms on linux?
at least that's what i've got in my notes - it was during the linux myths topic on
scaling that it came up.
more than ironic if true - more like foul play i'd say.
