Microsoft.com Running Windows Server 2008
Netcraft reports that Microsoft.com is now running on Windows Server 2008 Beta 3. While Microsoft employees frequently dogfood pre-release software, Microsoft.com is the 12th most popular website in the world, so running it off Server 2008 is risky, unless you have complete confidence in your software, which Microsoft apparently does. Good for them.
They’re not the only ones. More than 2,600 sites are taking advantage of Windows Server 2008 while it is a free beta, and I’m guessing it’s working out for them, if they’re still doing it.
