Looks like Microsoft Researches new website InkblotPasswords[.com] , aimed at helping users come up with hard to crack passwords ( while at the same time saving them in a database ) is powered by Debian and Python :)
From Netcraft :
Apache/1.3.34 (Debian) mod_python/2.7.11 Python/2.4.4c0 mod_ssl/2.8.25 OpenSSL/0.9.8c

Netcraft claims the netblock owner is Amazon.com, Inc. That’s strange. Indeed, a reverse DNS lookup brings ec2-67-202-22-224.compute-1.amazonaws.com
But that brings us to the answer. This site was hosted not by Microsoft apparently, but by Amazon Web Services, which uses Debian. That is at least what I think.
A look at the HTTP headers in Firefox (through the Live HTTP Headers addon) confirms this. The images used on that site are all received from Amazon S3 servers (part of Amazon Web Services).
Asirra (the project’s name) uses Debian, but if you go to asirra.com, you are referred to page on the Microsoft domain that runs IIS- through a 301 Moved Permanently response. Still however, the asirra server itself runs Debian (looking at the Live HTTP headers).

Well from a hacker’s point of view about ready to hack a ton of windows passwords, finding out that they’re running linux servers would sure throw me off…
