Perhaps its your crappy connections? I have always gotten very fast downloads from Microsoft's site, or when I use windows update. And I have a very good connection.

I would hope that they have a cluster server...but otherwise its probably some quad-Xeon box with a few GB of ram.  Maybe they have a 100Mbps pipe to the main site.

Oh, and microsoft.com and windows update run .NET Server 2003.  Hotmail runs 2000 (possibly some FreeBSD as well).  MSN.com is Windows 2000.  They probably have separtate connections as well (the main site is slow even when MSN is fast).
