A article posted in Slashdot (http://slashdot.org/Article.pl?sid=03/04/29/2310238) found a interesting thing: "A friend just bought Taiwan Microsoft router. (Http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/broadbandnetworking/wiredbasestation.aspx), then I will help him detect the security of this. The Denial attack has not played, and the port scan made me find very much. Interesting Dongdong, TCP / IP stack fingerprint contains such a string: 'i586-pc-linux-gnu'. Does this mean that Microsoft must provide the purchaser of Linux source code to the product? (Translation: because Linux It is also a GPL release, so a Linux source-based product must also open its source code.) "
Let us know more about ...
Microsoft recently released Windows Server 2003 (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/) to confront the market share of UNIX and GNU / Linux. Despite this, they forgot to say that they also use Linux. It seems that they can't use Windows to host traffic to the Windows Server 2003 product website, so they seek help from Akamai (http://www.akamai.com/). By detecting a Akamai version Windows Server 2003 website (http://a1.g.akamaitech.net/6/6/6/6/Microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/default.mspx/), you can indicate that they are using Linux (Http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?mode_u=on&mode_w=on&site=a1.g.akamaitech.net&submit=examine).
Things are far more than just this. Microsoft has a lot of Linux servers stored in Akamai in their Microsoft.com.
