".. MS uses Apache webserver too, they just want to do there part to get better tools.


Are you sure? Cause I thought Microsoft regarded IIS as a very powerful tool. This is a quote from http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsServer2003/IIS/Default.mspx: "Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 is a powerful Web server that provides a highly reliable, manageable, and scalable Web application infrastructure for all versions of Windows Server 2003". "

They sure do. It's common info that Microsoft even has few hundred linux servers in their labs.
