At the OSCON open source software convention, the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) got an unexpected new sponsor: Microsoft. The Redmond software giant, which will contribute $100,000 annually to the ASF, joins Google and Yahoo as a platinum sponsor of Apache development.

hehe.. I was just kidding with my comment but since the person before you wanted to take it seriously and, as you point out; all computer companies the size of MS have labs with a machien for each competing platform.
I believe the cluster behind Windows Update is also supported by linux systems though the actual http deamon may be something other than Apache.

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.
