Hmm

Microsoft.com runs on NT/SQL Server (well now the 2k editions)

Microsofts line of business apps ran on MS platforms (at least they were said to a couple of years ago) .

In short. I don't believe you. Of course if you can provide chapter and verse as to which Oracle products MS uses to run its business and on what hardware platform I might be tempted to believe you, after all Oracle would be publicising the fact would they not.

meanwhile I can't tell you about the line of buiness apps but www.webtv.com is running on IIS5/Win2k
