Wasn't 1&1 one of the providers that Microsoft gave a huge payout to
some years back if they would host a lot of Windows stuff in their
business?  I seem to recall some sort of deal where Microsoft paid
hosting providers a lot of money to host Windows stuff (enough that
everything that the provider charged was pure profit, because if memory
serves, Microsoft provided the hardware _and_ the software _and_ money
on the side... but I could be wrong).
