eine nette Story von Dave Kramer, A Brief History Of Microsoft On The Web:
Today, microsoft.com is the fourth-largest Web site (per Media Metrix), powered by internal and external servers all over the world and visited by an average of 5 million customers a day. How the site got where it is now in just six high-velocity years is a story of smart decisions, some very public snafus, and all in all, a story we thought you might like to read as we close out 1999… As we prepare to enter the year 2000, it makes sense to reflect on all that has happened since 1994 – the year that microsoft.com launched its public Internet Web domain with a home page. This isn’t meant to be an exhaustive account of the early days of Microsoft on the Web, just a short compilation of history and reminisces by some of the „old timers“ who helped build the foundation for microsoft.com.
