It's one thing for Microsoft to go to war with Open Source software and Linux in particular, but how hypocritical can Microsoft really be in running their own websites? Australia IT News reports:Microsoft has made a big deal out of asserting that Linux is not fit for the enterprise. But Microsoft itself is using Linux to help protect its servers against denial-of-service attacks.
