Microsoft Hacked

[Will]

Sorry those of you expecting some light-hearted dig at M$, and me ranting about Open Source good, M$ bad, but I have a lovely little link for you all. Its not a Wij style link either.

The white paper on Hotmail is pretty good. Not exactly the official line, is it?

Thanks to La Reg for the linkage.

Great Security from M$, makes me glad I don't us hotmail for anything important

So another Unix geek breaks into MS and feels all special about it. So what? Who cares? No one. People apposed to MS's so called "domination" of the market are just jealous they didn't think of it first. MS's stuff* is popular because it's simple.

You didn't read the article then. Its a member of M$ staff talking about why the migration to Windows (from FreeBSD) isn't as beneficial as the company would have you believe.

The conversion of the Hotmail web servers to Windows is an ongoing project with several rationales. The team was hoping for better utilization of the existing hardware resources. The superior development and internationalization tools are important. A Microsoft property should eat its own dogfood. Finally, we wished to use the conversion experience as a model for other UNIX conversions that we hope to carry out in the future.
