Microsoft never says and no one seems to know for sure except the few numbers thrown around including a notable “10,000 new servers a month“, however, a recent promotional video produced by Microsoft’s Environmental Sustainability group may have accidentally spilled the beans…” [...]

Of course they run Linux for websites and computational stuff, and of course they run MS for Active Directory and MS stuff — too bad all those gurus don’t know enough about IT in general, what’s best for what.

@Rob — Can you point us to your data source for the comparison to Google?
