    Microsoft also uses Sun servers internally. Not for development mind you, but to run their database and email servers. Enterprise 10,000's running iPlanet, exchange simply can't handle the load of 55,000+ users.

    Last time I talked with anyone who dealt the MS account, the Sun service guys had to remove their badges and cover up any Sun logos on boxes and packages going into the facility.

    For the record, Sun still uses no MS products internally. (other than a few laptops with XP here and there.) Sun really does run on Sun.
