It reports IIS running on Linux which isn't possible really. Heres the sites explanation.
Why do you report impossible operating system/server combinations ?
Webservers that operate behind a caching system, load balancer, reverse proxy server or a firewall may sometimes report the operating system of the intermediate machine. Hence reports of 'Microsoft/IIS on Linux' may indicate that either the web server is behind a Linux server that is acting as a reverse proxy, or has configured the Akamai caching system such that the first request to the site goes to one of Akamai's servers [which run Linux], or as in the case of www.walmart.com has been configured to send a misleading signature. -
Don't want to burst your bubble but they say this in the FAQ...

Still, even if they have to protect their windows server behind a linux machine is funny. I guess they couldn't fend off blaster on their own???

EDIT: As for the Blaster virus, the author made a mistake. The address www.windowsupdate.com which the virus was to attack is not the direct link to the server, but requests are redirected. The direct link is windowsupdate.microsoft.com So what Microsoft did to protect its server is just stop redirecting the requests"A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct."

No it's not, but they switched the hosting of that domain cause they couldn't handel the attacks from blaster.

Actually, I'm pretty sure they just deleted the DNS record for it.

Hmmm, Interesting. I didn't even check to see if the domain worked. Well, DNS works for v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
