Because this one made me say roofles and lol, check out this story about the Unisys & Microsoft efforts to run some anti-unix campaigns. They are spending lots of money to convince folks that Unix/Linux/BSD etc. are all gonna kill you. Did I mention that the main website for the promotion is running Unix?

Just to let everyone know, the server that the site is running on is now using IIS 5.0:

Analysis: Node 'www.wehavethewayout.com' was found in 17 hops (TTL=114). It is a HTTP server (running Microsoft-IIS/5.0).

I used Visual Route to find that out.
