Anyone find this funny?

Microsoft site using Nginx

Not showing much faith in their IIS, are they?

Not really

Microsoft Azure - NGINX

Microsoft is big on opensource.

Maybe they should opensource IIS then?

If they did that they would be spending 10's of thousands of man hours fixing zero-days that are discovered.

Haha that's hilarious.

I imagine IIS is better now but I remember in the 6.0 days it was so full of exploits it was insane. It seems every few days you'd read of a new 0 day lol. My favourite is one that allowed an attacker to essentially gain console access to the entire server, it would spit out the output of the command right into the web browser by initiating specially formatted urls. Almost like it was by design.

Probably something leftover from the debug build, or maybe it was a canned "feature".
