I ran DNS on NT Server 4.0 in the past. Granted, it was at home on my home network and not in any sort of production, but it worked fairly well for me. So perhaps they are running it on NT instead of unix.
Really, they just want to look like they are trying to protect their "intellectual property" with technology, but realize that is futile. The only thing they hope for is to be able to use this as an example of, "See? No matter what we try to come up with to protect ourselves, the hackers beat us." and use that as an excuse to get more laws passed to increase their profit. They realize that it is harder to innovate a new, more useful technology to transfer content to us. They really can't beat mp3's although they could come up with music that has ads in it at the beginning, or a proprietary compression algorythm that is much better than mp3, but requires a special player and encoder from them so you have to have an ad based mp3 player (which would be free, and perhaps written in java to be cross platform.) It's just easier to go play golf with some politicians and have them tax us as if we only use computers and recordable media to "pirate" their copyrighted works.

It's called semen.
Yes, he has planted his Katzy skull firmly up your anal orifice. Now squeeze tight, get him out of there, and shut up.
