Well, I would recommend moving off Windows simply to save money if you need to scale to multiple servers. Server grade Windows costs quite a bit and the licensing is too complicated for me. Because of this I have made an effort to code in cross platform languages. However I would not start a rewrite of 100,000 lines of ASP (on the other hand 100,000 line is a LOT of code, perhaps it would be a lot less if written in something more powerful).
I don't want to start another language war so I won't recommend any specific language, I just wanted to comment on the fact that you are limiting yourself to one OS and that might hurt.
I like the idea, if executed and marketed well it could really help. Combine this with great real estate listing and search functionality and you might have a winning software.
- gscott 19y agoI agree with the licensing. I have been using with Windows 2000 and Sql Server 2000 because I don't want to pay MS more money but if I go to 64 bit servers then I would need at least Windows 2003 and SQL Server 2005. That is one reason I am looking for money now while I wasn't before, And I have been officially rejected from Y Combinator... time for plan b... too bad :(
