Actuallt they run Linux..
We really don't know what failed and it doesn't appear at least on the surface that we will ever know. The DOS attack seems unlikely since network traffic went down at the time the outage occurred. We do not know if it was the actual servers that failed or some other network infrastructure. I know several people here have jumped on the BOT theory in the hopes of slinging more mud on Microsoft but I prefer to reserve judgement. The facts just don't add up.
