I'd have to agree, I was one of the consultants brought in to build msn.com and eu.microsoft.com at Telehouse Europe in London on behalf of MS. I can say for certain that the virtual host homepages.msn.com was never part of our spec. I don't know where it does live, but for the main MSN sites and for eu.microsoft.com they run as a Microsoft only site.
Of course it would have been easier building the sites with Apache *8^)
It's a downer when you have such an inflexible brief to work with :)

I think MS are finally getting the message :)
Microsoft do not run this service. It is under agreement from, erm, whomever they bought it off (obviously). The homepages service, while supported by MS, is actually phisically independant.
