Iphtashu Fitz is exactly right. ASKJ runs IIS on the front end but their back end is entirely Linux. I know this because I know both the ASKJ team in Natick MA and the Teoma guys in Jerz. So if MSFT buys out ASKJ (which, given the rumors flying around and ASKJ's run up in stock price in the past 6 months leads me to believe they will) they will have that bitter little pill to swallow.
