MS internal whitepaper concludes Unix better for large serverparks

An older MS internal whitepaper from August 2000 on switching Hotmail, which MS acquired in 1997, from front-end servers running FreeBSD and back-end database servers running Solaris to a whole farm running Win2K, reads like a veritable sales brochure for UNIX, but concludes that the company ought to set the right example by ensuring that each division "should eat its own dogfood.
They comment parts of the whitepaper which highlights the benefits adminstrators have when using FreeBSD/unix over Win2k server...

Read the rest of the article here and the whitepaper here (note, the server seems to be hammered into submission right now...)
