Check out the source of any Channel9 RSS feed
Say, the Video Feed
Notice the "slash" namespace:
xmlns:slash="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/"
...
<slash:comments>6</slash:comments>
Slash is the source code and database that was originally used to create Slashdot

P.S. And the Channel 9 Editor is:
FreeTextBox v2 (2.0.5500.30918)
from... http://www.freetextbox.com/
$49 or $199 for the 3.0 version, though. Not quite as interesting as the Slash section, however. -
Wait till i launch my FreeRadioButton...
If i can charge $199 a hit for that, i'll be a demi-god. -
That just means that Channel 9 is importing the Slash namespace. That way an XML parser knows what data to expect in each XML node.
It has nothing to do with using Slashdot's code.
Since Channel 9 is written using ASP.net, I kind of doubt it shares any code with Slashdot, but nice thought.

Isn't /. written in php, running on Apache, on Linux?

<slash:comments> is part of an RSS module which indicates how many comments there are. It's become pretty standard to use this in RSS feeds.
See RDF Site Summary 1.0 Modules: Slash.
It's not actually necessary for the namespace prefix to be slash. You can use any valid XML namespace name - say, foo - as long as you specify xmlns:foo="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/". Some aggregators may not understand if you do, though - it depends how well the implementer understood XML Namespaces.
C9 also supports the Comment API, at least for the feed for the first message in a thread. It's not supported for the individual post feeds at the moment.
In browsing through the feeds I realised that C9 actually does associate posts with a parent. It just doesn't present a fully threaded view (e.g. CodeProject.com's forums). -

/. utilizes Linux, Apache and PHP.

No. Perl, Apache + Linux. -

I didn't mean to imply that Channel9 was using Slashdot's code. But it is using technology that was developed for Slashdot, and later released.

No, it uses a communication standard called RSS which has nothing to do with Slashdot.
