Myspace Runs IIS?!?!?!?!
You MUST be kidding me. I kept wondering why myspace was having so many issues and I think I have found the problem. They run IIS on Windows 2003 (according to Netcraft). Guys, switch everything over to Apache on Linux and watch your machines suddenly work 10 times better.

I read that MySpace gets 2.5x the traffic of Google. And AFAIK, they certainly don't have the distributed infrastructure of Google.

According to this article:
It actually gets about 1/3 of the traffic of Google.
And no matter what, going from Windows/IIS -> Linux/Apache is going to give them marked improvement.

Last time I checked, google had more datacenters than times Michael Jackson has had cosmetic surgery.
AS far as the IIS debate, id love to see all your credentials when making these broad generalizations.
Apache is made to be modular, and its free, and it runs on free operating systems. IIS on the other hand does neither of those, but that doesnt stop large companies from using it:
