I'm not sure if this is the case (207.46.18.30 really belongs to
Microsoft) but it is not strange that by visiting www.microsoft.com
you could be served by Unix/Linux/Apache server because Microsoft
uses Akamai services for loadbalancing. You could check that on
http://searchdns.netcraft.com/?host=.microsoft.com

Transparent proxy server (as already suggested by Nils) could also
explain it.

If you want to dig deeper, use ethereal and/or nmap --version_trace
...
