There's certainly a budding apr 1 joke in here.. "Microsoft abandons NT, realigns future strategy on Linux..."
Alas, Apr 1 is past...
Anyway, the abundance of non-NT or non_IIS machines at microsoft is simply indicative of the diversity of people who work here. All major corporate services are run on our products, like any other company. Often, other types are used as either personal play machines, testing of Microsoft software on Unix, or simply just for curiosity.
egg is my machine.. if your curious about it there's a short FAQ with answers to some questions I've been getting asked lately. http://egg.microsoft.com/misc/faq.txt
Completion ports on linux, wow. An NT (ok, VMS) feature integrated into linux.. Thats a new one. *chuckle*
