Even MS doesn't trust it's own software! ROFL!

No, more like the caching company Microsoft has a
contract with (Akamai) runs Linux.
That's not 'protecting' anything...

"Akamai can help defend against denial-of-service attacks by spreading
the attack among many servers. Just as a distributed denial-of-service
attack enlists large numbers of systems to attack a single server,
Akamai presents a distributed defense against denial-of-service
attacks."

Well, duh. They're a caching company, hence that's
implied.

So what's the big deal?

MS had been dissing Linux for years, but MS uses it to protect their web
site.

You also should have told the dunce also, that yes, they're caching M$'
site(s)...*ON LINUX SERVERS*. Which means M$' site(s) are *still* on Linux. Ask
him why M$ didn't choose a caching company that uses some M$ servers, heh.

Umm, Cost maybe. This company may have just has the best deal for
MS and MS really wouldn't care what type Server OS the comany uses.
Why should they? As long as the compay can provide the services need,
they can run on TRS-80's as far as MS is concerned.

So much for their anti-Linux FUD!
