The Null Device

This time, for sure! Microsoft have finally started moving Hotmail to Windows 2000. Hotmail, which Microsoft bought a few years ago, runs on FreeBSD and Apache, much to its owners' embarrassment. They tried moving it to Windows NT a while ago, but gave up; now they're giving it another go. If this succeeds, they'll probably need twice as many machines, but the added expense will be worth the saving of face. Though it may be a good idea for Hotmail users to move to another free mail service for the time being, in case things cock up too badly.
