Ofcourse, this is just mho. You're expressing your humble opinion based on guesswork..never a wise thing. Hotmail ran, and continues to run, on Solaris servers for handling the email backend.

This was a directive from Redmond for political reasons, not due to the failure or inadequacy of FreeBSD to support the task.
