I didn't realize I made a double entendre. I also didn't realize that I asserted that Microsoft paid GoDaddy. I said "GoDaddy paid or was paid for something..."
Translating that to better ability to parse: Either GoDaddy paid for something and implemented it, or GoDaddy was paid for something and implemented it.
I am not indicating an assertion in one way or the other. I didn't even mean to suggest that GoDaddy got a deal on the software. However, it was a business decision that GoDaddy made.
I am not saying that Linux is incapable of sullying its hands on unworthy content. I'm just not in a position to care what software hosts parked domains. Just as I'm not in a position to care whether a private company uses concrete or asphault or grass for their own parking lots.
The fact that I don't care what a real business does -- legally -- with its own equipment should speak volumes to you. It means that I respect the ability of a corporation to make its own choices with its own revenues. You just happen to have glossed over the fact that once content does run on the domains, it's really up to the owner of the domain to determine the (Apache/IIS) foundation.
If GoDaddy said, "We're not providing any Linux to live (non-parked) sites," I'd understand your concern and frustration. Then again, I use GoDaddy for registrar and DNS and pretty much host elsewhere -- not because I don't like GoDaddy's hosting, but because I can host these things myself. Above all, *that* should tell you a lot about me.
If you feel that GoDaddy has made a mistake, and that mistake seriously affects your life or lifestyle, I'm sorry for offending your sensibilities by offering an objective point of view.
