I remember a MS person saying at a conference I attended two years ago that the 
first MS ADFS servers were boxes under her desk.  They stayed there until a 
higher up at MS asked where the servers were when O365 started taking off.

I can remember, during the Win NT 3.5.1 timeframe, when it was possible to map 
a drive to ftp.microsoft.com<ftp://ftp.microsoft.com>.

Of course, it was a computer that sat underneath some engineer's desk.

But mapping a drive to copy files was faster than using ftp. :)

It's interesting to see how web design has changed.
