In this day and age of the Internet, launch issues should be foreseen and should be easily dealt with.

I agree with you. The problem is, we are talking about bureaucrats. While I agree with you that there were better decisions, heck I could have done a better job, the reality is they went with the safest choices.

Which meant the biggest names. After all, no one ever got fired for using IBM, Intel or Microsoft. I can pretty much guarantee that everything was done in .NET or perhaps PHP and not something like Ruby on Rails. Granted RoR is a resource hog, but scaling is a flip of the switch type of thing.

The safe choice was old tech. But that doesn't scale.
