biz.yahoo.com— GoDaddy to Transition All Its Parked Domains From Linux to Microsoft Server. Will this mean that more and more hackeds domain will be use for SPAM? ..

What possible advantage do they have to move from a free and open source operating system to Windows (other than to get friendly with Microsoft)? Certainly not an increase in performance, stability, or cost effectiveness.I have all my domains through them and thought they were a decent company...but this move is just a stupid decision.
It could be that old "cost too much to manage" justification.People with MCSE are a dime a dozen it seems. People with *nix knowledge are far and fewer inbetween.I would use GoDaddy.com to register a domain, but not host it. I am use to the linux enviroment, I follow the development of the software that is used (Apache, PHP, MySQL) etc... I trust the software on linux more than Windows since it is being devloped for linux and then ported over to Windows, which in my opinion, means more stability, better performance and better security. The Apache group do not even support it on Windows, saying that they claim no responsibility. I can say it works fine, but I think that goes a long way with their comment.
That's ridiculous. I've used them as my registrar for two years, and I've called their toll free support line. The guy was American, knowledgeable, and was able to describe all the different options and help me figure out which deal would get me the most for the least. They do an excellent job.
