From C|Net’s News.com: “A Web site sponsored by Microsoft and Unisys as a way to steer big companies away from the Unix operating system is itself powered by Unix software.

The site, dubbed ‘We have the way out ,’ runs on Web servers powered by FreeBSD, an open-source version of Unix, along with the Unix-based Web server Apache, according to Netcraft, which tracks Web site information. Both pieces of software compete with Microsoft’s Windows operating system. The Microsoft/Unisys site solicits names and contact information in exchange for research reports on data center trends.”
