If those linux distro sites encounter so much traffic as microsoft.com has every second, they will die in convultions. By the way, microsoft.com is a very large and sophisticated system, involving a lot of Windows and UNIX servers, with load balancing and caching from third party. Actually end user does not touch microsoft's hardware at all (:
