Sources?

Hotmail has always been hosted on Solaris.  MS did a feasibility study for a
port to NT, and decided it wasn't worth the effort (read, NT couldn't do
it).  When Hotmail got hacked, it was Solaris, not an MS product that got
hacked.

And for what it's worth,
http://www.microsoft.com/NTServer/web/news/msnw/Hotmail.asp but since its an
MS link, people will indubitably doubt it's veracity.

They will port Hotmail to Win2K though.
