That has knocked their "credibility" rating on more than a few occasions, 
first when they too over Hotmail" which was running on FreeBSD very well thank 
you, which is why MS bought it. Then tried running Hotmail on W2K, and it was 
not up to the job, so back to FreeBSD they went, and something similar has 
happened on 2-3 other occasions there after.
