I was the best I worked them all.

I've used that quote before. But when I came across the story of The Lone Server, it popped into my head. The Lone server is the last Windows 2003 server being used on the Microsoft.com web site.

For years, my friends and I were on the front lines: we were the Windows Server 2003 servers that powered Microsoft.com ....
