Ok. My turn:
Check this out:
--------------------------------
telnet www.microsoft.nl
govinda# telnet www.microsoft.nl Trying 193.67.35.120... Connected to www.microsoft.nl. Escape character is '^]'.
Red Hat Linux release 3.0.3 (Picasso) Kernel 2.0.27 on a i586
mail.tmn.nl login:
--------------------------------
I rest my case. Me and my colleagues jaws dropped when we saw this. Last saturday I discovered they were running a very recent sendmail, so I thought they were using a commercial UNIX. Then a colleague of mine tried to telnet the thing. We had to re-animate him... ;)
Ok. From now on, I'm going to endorse the Microsoft way of doing things.
I agree with the fact we should not bug them, I'm rather happy to see it.
Best regards,
Pascal van Dam
