Victor's Blog about the Web, Security and Life

The web for me is a hobby where standards and best practices are daily bread. Security is a concern that everybody must be aware of its details for IT in general, and the web in particular, to be a safer place. My life, on the other hand, is that of a regular Lebanese citizen where politics and social issues are discussed on a daily basis. I hope you enjoy reading my blog and make sure to drop me a comment about any topic you find interesting.

I stumbled today at a page thinking it was a joke until I checked it manually to make sure it was correct. The page is simple. It is from NetCraft and shows the servers that are being used by big companies like IBM and Microsoft. Logically speaking, Microsoft should be using Windows Servers at least to prove to its clients that Microsoft servers are stable everywhere and for everything. I was shocked to find out that Microsoft was using Linux (its competitor) as a server.

The screenshot below is from NetCraft and can be seen (while it exists) by clicking on this link.
Microsoft using Linux as their web servers.
