Hi. I have contemplated this myself, and here's what I came up with. Hotmail is a prime example of this. Why can't they use Windows? Because it is too unstable. Although they won't outright admit that their software is unstable, because they want to think that they're the best. However they know that they're not. So it becomes a conflict of advertise yourself as one of the best companies in the world, or use software which you know if more stable than the crap you make so much money on? I say that they keep their advertising, and they use more stable software unix/Linux, but they don't tell about it at all. The only people who find out about this are the people who are actually interested, like me for example. microsoft dialogue This company has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
