Being the nosey person I am, and after watching the moving videos, I was wondering what OS's they use on their servers?  I'm sure I saw Windows 2012 server on one of them?

 

Thanks All

I believe they are all running some version of windows server with different programs running over them to control everything.

I think they are running Windows Server 2012.

 

Linus mentioned it in some video.

Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz - Intel Stock Cooler - Zotac Geforce GT 610 2GB Synergy Edition

Intel DH61WW - Corsair® Value Select 4GBx1 DDR3 1600 MHz - Antec BP-300P PSU

WD Green 1TB - Seagate 2.5" HDD 1TB - Seagate Barracuda 500GB - Antec X1 E.

Their in-house servers run 2012 R2 Standard. Not sure how they got it, it costs $800. The site is probably hosted on a Linux server.

Considering what they do and considering the fact that they don't really have someone that manages the network, they probably just have Windows all over the place for anything including servers .

Security server is running some custom made stuff. I would say its based on Linux, but hard to tell since its purchased as service.
