> Hotmail are apparently dropping FreeBSD in favour of Solaris because of > thread support as well :-( HotMail is using Solaris for the back-end data store, yes. But they are still using FreeBSD for the WWW Server front-end. Someone needs to nuke this rumor; I believe it got started when they first attempted to switch to NT, and after the failure, Sun pres-released this fact, and FreeBSD didn't press-release anything. After a recent exchange with Casper Dik, I'm pretty sure Solaris got the cooperative threading code correct in Solaris 2.6.
