If the windows server software is so good, why does Hotmail still use the Apache Server software? I remember an article not to long ago stating that MS 'quietly' switched from Apache to Windows Server, then 'even more quietly' switched back due to MS's server failing constantly.

MS is still running Apache for Hotmail.

Dude, that was *1998*, for chrissakes. Hotmail doesn't use Apache anymore.

Hotmail switched eons ago. Originally when Microsoft bought them they ran Apache they switched soon after.
