That's not necessarily true. Microsoft lobbyists specifically target middle and upper management, and using arguments from authority, convince them that they must stay on Windows/IIS because it has better ROI.
- tptacek 16y agoFor most companies, IIS does have a better ROI than, say, Rails.
- teilo 16y agoRails running on...? If you pick and choose the other side of the comparison, you can may anything have a better ROI than anything else. A better comparison would be Windows/IIS/.NET vs. Linux/Apache/<Insert Java Framework Here>
- tptacek 16y agoSubstitute whatever you want for Rails, and ASP.NET will still have a better ROI for any given single application, and potentially (probably, in fact) for all their apps even if you artificially ignore switching costs. We don't build apps in ASP.NET. We use Ruby. But we do a lot of security work for people with ASP.NET, are knee-deep in a lot of ASP.NET dev teams, and the things ASP.NET does for enterprise apps are not "kool-aid".
