the FreeBSD migration didn’t take that long - iirc this was the frontend migration to an IIS ISAPI.

the Solaris bits (storage and routing tables) took far longer - and again iirc the frontend had been rewritten in C# before all the Sun hardware had been decommissioned.

not in the Hotmail dev team but about as close as you could get otherwise. I even reported to their general manager for a minute or two.

fun times for sure.
