Subject: Micro$of use Novell, not his own products

Hello to all

I think, this is interesting

# queso microsoft.com:25
207.46.197.100:25 * Novell Netware TCP/IP

This is piracy or Microsoft buy licensed Novell?

And what it mean - that Microsoft can't guarrantie even himself
against viruses, hackers etc., so used no his own IIS, but Novell?

In any case, I think that this fact can be exellently used for
Linux Public Relation and advertizing.

Thanks for information.

But there are some moments:

1. "When Microsoft moved to buy Hotmail in 1997, it was already
running on FreeBSD". And they (M$) can say that they don't want to
change soft until it works...

2. FreeBSD in the free system, Novell is commertial. One think - use
free soft, another - to buy it from main concurrent*

3. Hotmail is only owned by Microsoft, http://www.microsoft.com is the face
of Microsoft - main site.

This is situation like .... I don't know - for example: if mr.Ford
(man, not company) will use as his personal auto not Lincoln
(produced on Ford's plants) but ... Mercedes or Cytroenn, for
example... And say this time that Lincoln is the best car in the
world...

Best regards,

George

this is outdated. They use the quite good IIS SMTP Service for outgoing
mails now.
