7/17 I just found out about this after doing some research on my own.
Several hours after http://ebay.com went down Microsoft released a
quite lengthy report attributing the failure to Sun Microsystem's
stupidity claiming things like "system boards are not hot-swapable
under Suns". But doing a telnet into ebay I found this:
# telnet http://www.ebay.com http

does anyone find it odd that Microsoft is criticizing ebay who is
running their own web server?
