Also, you can get a hotmail account (GASP!) and send an e-mail to your self
and notice that the headers say it is qmail... as qmail does not run on
Winblows, there is proof of the use of an *nix system. AFAIK hotmail uses
FreeBSD and qmail in the back end. The only challenge with this of course
would be that if M$ os migrating still, that new accounts would be set up
with M$ IIS and Exchange, there by invalidating that option. If you have an
older hotmail account, then this still might be an option to check.

It is FreeBSD. The front end servers are Win2k, but they whole thing's been
on FreeBSD for a while. Search Linuxtoday or SlashDot for "hotmail" if you
don't belive :-)
