MSN Search Engine Favors IIS

Scud writes "It appears that if you want to rise up in the rankings over at the MSN search engine you would do well to host your page on IIS. Ivor Hewitt has done a study and it appears that by using IIS, you are likely to increase your odds of a higher listing by several percent."

    Argh, just when they removed it from Visual Studio requirements, it's skewing up search results. MSN Search should be banned for being dishonest.

    Not exactly scientific, is it?

    I guess it's OK that you like to suck cock and masturbate at the same time, but do you really have to share it with Slashdot?

    Banned from life is my vote.

    If it can do what it likes then so can we. Everybody who is put off by M$FT's behavior should open up a hundred or a thousand hot mail accounts, and subscribe to every spam list there is. Subject these accounts to every bad practice regarding smap avoidance. Fill up all of M$FT's hotmail drive space. I bet it won't take more that a week to bring hotmail down this way.

    Your comment doesn't even make sense. Fag.

    configure his web server to report itself as IIS in the headers it returns. That's the only real way to know what a web server is running

    I'm trying to decide if your post was supposed to be a "Troll Tuesday" one, or if indeed you are just clueless. I'm thinking, mostly, it's just cluessness but I'm hoping not.
