One URL: http://www.mandrakebizcases.com/ > ps...is it true that MS uses linux to run its msn mail server? They use FreeBSD. They tried switching to Windows NT when they bought it, but they found it couldn't handle the load. Last year they claimed that they had switched everything to Win2K, but were forced later to publically admit that they are using BSD. Some important chunks of Win 2K and XP are simply BSD code, like the TCP/IP stack. Even then, network performance is bad in Win2K, and worse in WinXP. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan "When I see any Web site claim to be only readable using particular hardware or software, I cringe--they are pining for the bad old days when each piece of information needed a different program to access it." -- Tim Berners-Lee, founder of the World Wide Web
