Nothing is 'too expensive' for MS in that regard. They in fact, gave porting Hotmail the ol' college (sic) try. 'Expense' didn't enter into it. --- A great example of the expense MS goes to to "eat their own dogfood" is the microsoft.com site. There was a somewhat thorough documentation of it up on the M$ site for a short time a year or two ago. It required manpower and hardware that nobody BUT Microsoft could afford. It was totally Rube Goldberg. Charles pointed out at that time after going over the specs that the the 'dogfood site' appeared to be running entirely in RAM. -JCJ
