"If you've ever wondered how microsoft.com uses our technology then read on. I recently came across some good information from the folks over at the Operations team at Microsoft.com. The thread basically talks about how we use IIS, Firewalls and Windows Server 2008. I think as we come up to launch next year it's a really good and quick insight into what they do and how they do it. So enjoy the reading and let me know what you think..Pretend I've asked about how they protect our sites...

At this point we still don't use firewalls for MS.COM sites and don't have any plans on the books to put them in place."

An interesting read for sure.
