Microsoft Gets the Urge to use Linux

Urge.com featuring the Netscape favicon

Like everybody else who has been watching Microsoft try to figure out how to compete with Apple's ipod I've been waiting for the MS folks to launch a competing service. Well now it looks like they're about too. And if the placeholder site's favicon and the netcraft site report is any indication that site'gonna be running linux.

Ok according to whois Viacom actually owns the domain, so maybe Microsoft didn't really have a choice in the matter... either way that site is certainly not running windows.
