???

Why would stack overflow focus on MS when MS has their own forums and developer resources? I have to admit, I don't look for MS things on stack, but everything else I have questions about I'll look there. In fact, most searches for MS related questions are found on sites other than stack.

pconner is talking about how Stack Overflow is hosted on Windows (and maybe uses other Microsoft products, I wouldn't know).
I had no idea that "MS-centric" meant your site is hosted on Windows. Thank you for clarifying that.

IOW, WTF ???

I think there might also be a codinghorror blog post that details why they picked .net, but I'm having a hard time finding it.

No problem, it's wrong that your comment was downvoted. Even with my upvote it's still grey.
