The article says nothing about Linux. They could very well be running Drupal on a Windows server.

Replace "Linux" with "FOSS" and the same applies. :)

According to NetCraft, they use Linux as their OS.

netcraft can be wrong about some things.
look here

and scroll down.
when did Linux start being able to run IIS?

EDIT: nvm. they must have Linux as their Gateway/proxy server and IIS as their main servers.
