MSCOM team is so nice to publish the Q&A after their webcast series couple days ago.

Monitor and Manage an Enterprise Platform with Microsoft.com Operations (Level 200)

Troubleshooting and Debugging Web Hosting Environments with Microsoft.com Operations (Level 300)

My fav Q&A:
Hi, does MS.com use ISA Server 2004?
We do not. We are a site that has so much traffic and so any attack attempts that we use other solutions. For www.microsoft.com we use Cisco Guards do to packet filtering at the edge. We also use acls on the routers and we only allow ports 80 and 443 to have access.
----------
No ISA at all ? LOL, ISA folks for sure not going to be happy when they hear this.
