TALIBAN OPTS FOR MICROSOFT

Taliban opts for Microsoft - not the best endorsement
...while the Afghan resistance goes open source...

A website associated with the Taliban is running Microsoft-IIS/5.0 on
Windows 2000 in contrast to a resistance site which has chosen the open
source route.

talibanonline.com was registered on 15 September by the Afghan National
Taliban to an individual with an address in Kabul.
However, the site has since been hacked by 'MaxMouse' and a message has
been posted reading: "The United States will destroy you! Project
Afganistand!!! Knock them out! You will pay for this you stupid
fools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless the United States of America!"

In contrast, resistance site afgha.com is running on Apache 1.3.20 on
Debian Linux. The organisation claims it doesn't belong to any party but
feels "close to United Front's fight for freedom".

The question is whether talibanonline.com will choose to upgrade to XP.
