__ [1] Open Source Fights Back

Perens: Not the first. It's part of a continuing behavior
pattern by Microsoft that I think it's fair to call "dirty
fighting." GoDaddy was using Apache (I assume on Linux)
because it was a great technical solution. They didn't switch
to IIS on Windows Server 2003 for any technical reason. The
switch was accompanied by a press release by GoDaddy,
containing Microsoft promotional language. Now, I've changed many servers from one thing to another, but I've never made a
press release about it. GoDaddy wouldn't be doing that unless
Microsoft had offered them something valuable in return. There
has been talk in the domain business that Microsoft has been
offering the large domain registries a wad of cash to switch
their parked sites. There is no other reason to do this than
to influence the Netcraft figures.

Yes, I can see it now, Microsoft ad in Linux.com with printing presses running .... Man pulls the break handle, replaces front page stencil. Hits the start button, now presses read, "HEADLINES - MICROSOFT LOW USAGE PARKED GO DADDIES USE IIS".

Heh!
