HotMail uses solaris



Hi all

Just something nice I sow in Sun's page:

                         " Solaris calls Hotmail shots for Microsoft"
                        (Mag Net, April 22, 1998 - search on 'Hotmail')

                        Abstract: "Microsoft has decided to get the hots
for
                        Sun and is using Solaris to run its acclaimed
Hotmail
                        web-based e-mail service instead of NT. The
                        software giant has attempted to exchange the
                        Sun/Solaris infrastructure of Hotmail with NT
since
                        buying it in December 1997. However, the demands

                        of supporting 10 million users reportedly proved
too
                        great for NT, and Solaris was reinstated...."
