Apple uses Microsoft .NET servers
Last week I bought a new iMac 20 inch to replace my old G5 Dual 2.7GHz machine. A promo came with the new iMac for a Free iPod Nano from Apple. While filling in the promo rebate form (http://www.apple.com/promo/rebate) I made a mistake and need to go back one page. Without thinking too much about it, I clicked on the back button in my browser. Apparently Apple's Promo Rebate server doesn't like people doing this, and caused an application error on their server. Strangely enough when I looked at the error, I noticed that all the messages were from a Microsoft server! As a friend pointed out, Apple probably uses a third party for their promo applications. None the less, in my opinion, it does make Apple look bad. After all, can't Apple's XServe handle this type of application?
Incidently, the G5 is for sale now if anyone is interested:
- Dual 2.7GHz
- 4GB RAM
- 2 - 250GB Internal Drives
- Clean install of OS
- Perfectly running and very clean
- New iMac Keyboard and new Apple mouse (I wore the old ones out)
- Original packagin and original install CD's included
- This machine will run OS 9 applications which newer machine will not do
