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 :) Cheers People Tony Holmes Heterogeneous Networking Consultant Don't forget to remove the NOSPAM ----- Original Message ----- From: James Green <jg@cyberstorm.demon.co.uk> To: <alug@stu.uea.ac.uk> Sent: Sunday, July 18, 1999 11:30 PM Subject: Re: [alug] Too funny to be true

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.
