I would be surprised if Facebook was migrated to .aspx, but it's
probably not beyond the realms of possibility - Microsoft did a similar
thing to Hotmail when they bought it many years ago (FreeBSD -> WinNT).
From what I remember at the time, WinNT wasn't quite up to the job.


I'd have thought MS would need to invest a bit more in it, in order to
persuade them to migrate platform - which would be no small undertaking.
(I think they only have 1-2% share in the company, right?)
