I just got backdoor page hit information from support.microsoft.com.

In March, they had 13, 000, 000, 000 page hits. Yes, Thirteen BILLION.

Now, think about how you use a support site: You flip through a few pages, maybe twenty in rapid order, find an article you need, and read it. For at least a few minutes, maybe up to half an hour on screen. So, assuming an average page-dwell per user at one minute...

...well, YOU go ahead and figure out what the AVERAGE concurrent user load at support.microsoft.com is. Go ahead, do the arithmetic.

Oh My God.
