   And use BSDi 2.0 on their own Web servers as you probably know :-)

And use BSDI and SunOS and VMS and DEC OSF/1 and HP/UX and NetBSD and
Linux and.... in their own internal infrastructure.  But they use NT
more than all those combined.  C'mon, Microsoft is a big company with
vast and varied needs (Have they reached 20,000 employees yet?  It's
close.).  We've been through this thread already.  Please let it die
here.
