Ok. My turn:

Check this out:

--------------------------------

telnet www.microsoft.nl

govinda# telnet www.microsoft.nl
Trying 193.67.35.120...
Connected to www.microsoft.nl.
Escape character is '^]'.

Red Hat Linux release 3.0.3 (Picasso)
Kernel 2.0.27 on a i586

mail.tmn.nl login:

--------------------------------

I rest my case. Me and my colleagues jaws dropped
when we saw this. Last saturday I discovered they were
running a very recent sendmail, so I thought they were
using a commercial UNIX. Then a colleague of mine tried
to telnet the thing. We had to re-animate him... ;)

Ok. From now on, I'm going to endorse the Microsoft way
of doing things.

I agree with the fact we should not bug them, I'm rather
happy to see it.

Best regards,

Pascal van Dam
