Google uses .Net ?!

I was just on my iGoogle homepage and they asked me to take a survey about how my experience is. So I figured I'd do it and was surprised to see that Googles survey (survey.google.com) is written in a .Net language. :wtf: URL is https://survey.google.com/wix/p1549654.aspx With Google being so anti-Microsoft and pro-open source I figured it'd be written in C, C++ or whatever language Google uses on a daily basis.
Is the glass half full, half empty... or twice as large as it needs to be?

That's because it's not really google. If you look at the bottom right hand corner, confirmit.com is the one doing the survery for them. Looking at the website, it looks like they're a vender not a service provider so google must've bought their stuff http://www.confirmit.com/[^]

They also asked me to review. frankly i don't like the new layout. the dookicky navbox on the left just takes up space, IMHO.

Actually, they've been using .NET a bit for quite some time. The Google Deskbar which, I think, no longer exists as a separate item was a .NET app. DocListUploader [^] for Google Docs is also a .NET app. However, Google's "official" languages are C++, Java and Python. That's why you see all their open source stuff in these languages.

Yes, I did (part of one) not publically available sorry. It was running on an embedded linux server[^], the interface portion was largely written in HTML + JavaScript and the backend was written as a couple of CGI programs in C which returned XML for the javascript to process.
