Guess what _they're_ using -- biz.yahoo.com; what? you thought they would trust such an important message to one of their servers? then have it have to be rebooted four times as often? MSFT didn't get where it has gotten by being completely stupid.... jon.

Your right of course, it might be considered an "embarassment" of sorts, and should have been qualified and noted in the first page of the website, but upon closer analysis, it might be said that the purpose of the joint venture between Uis and ms is to demonstrate the use of and INTEROPERABLIY of Backoffice, Sql and Front Page, with Unix and to show the effectiveness and speed of slapping a website together with a full back end without too much hassle. In that sense, the use of a Unix Netserver "plugin" would be perfectly appropriate and in fact a good sales pitch. I am sure, this will be pointed out in sales meetings with prospective switchers. I am sure you will agree. BTIJMHO
