I don't know if that's true. The headers I've seen from hotmail users -- and Netcraft seem to agree -- indicate that they have migrated over to Win2K. I do understand this was a forced migration for non-technical reasons, and that they had quite a bit of problems.
An interesting exception seem to be the hosts named ad.law*.hotmail.com, which Netcraft claim to be FreeBSD.
