Jeff Alexander gives an insight into how some of the main websites in Microsoft are run (www.microsoft.com and update.microsoft.com). Interesting details include having no firewall, having to manage 650Gb of IIS logs every day, and the use of their yet unreleased Windows Server 2008 in a production environment.

It would appear Microsoft are tightening the screws on their up & coming DRM platform; Windows Media Player 11 removes the right to move music from one machine to another, as according to their website, "Windows Media Player 11 does not permit you to back up your media usage rights (previously known as licenses)".
Worse in fact, If you rip your own CDs and the 'Copy protect music' option is turned on WMP will require you to, in their words..."connect to a Microsoft Web page that explains how to restore your rights a limited number of times."
