I suspect they would have strongly disliked Markus Frind because he can't write using proper grammar and punctuation. And, even worse, his site is total Microsoft fanboy stuff. Windows, SQL Server, ASP.NET, scaling to tens of millions of users and more money per month than all YC acquisition sums.
I definitely wasn't defending him, I just think it bears repeating that you should build your stuff with whatever you're most comfortable with.
"What do you know about servers that Yahoo and Google don't?" Well, you'll probably never be Yahoo or Google and you don't have their same requirements, so if you get down with SharePoint 2007 Enterprise Solution Architect Server Plus Pro Home Business, go for it.
Markus says: "My short description leaves a lot out, but basically I spent every waking minute when I wasn't at my day job reading, studying, and learning. I picked out "enemies" and did everything I could to defeat them which ment being bigger then them. I refused to accept defeat of any kind, and I constantly forced myself to test new things. I never tried to perfect anything it didn't matter if things didn't work 100% as long as it was good enough I would move onto the next thing. In 2003 the dating market was growing 80% a year unlike the -10% in 2006 so growth was a LOT easier. When 2004 rolled around and word of mouth REALLY kicked in and as they say the rest is history."
