Bill Gates is trying to go into the hosting world, and create a monoply on that trade too! ;)
Supposably, he is gonna create like a backbone 10x faster, and more powerful then any known in the US.
Anyone got any thoughts about this matter??? Wonder if he'll offer colocation ;)

Colocation? LoL, if he offers reselling I will defintly join it also, because just to say, can you find anything out at the microsoft.com site?

My thoughts are; Bill Gates can likely do about anything he wants... it's not like he's going to lose money, and if he does, no big loss for him. I doubt if he did any hosting, his company would offer hosting to anyone, other than fortune 100/500 companies. The technology to have faster transfer is there, he has the money to implement it, you never know.

Lol you know that all the colocated servers are going to have to have a microsoft sticker on them don't you? Hmm any unix machines in that room will 'magically' have a poor uptime compared to the windows boxes. No thanks, Bill go back to rolling in your piles of money.
Well he better invest in firewalling equipment, or start patching bugs in win2k.
hehe, i would use if it he used unix servers...remember when microsoft.com was down for like 3 days due to a DoS attack to their dns servers? they were so redundant that all of their backup name servers were in the same noc...now they outsource to akamai.
