   There are a number of reasons. - The server, db, and xml APIs are great - We really love the c# language - We're already experts with the technology .net is more than just the default settings for asp.net. Using any platform "as-is" will g

   We're using .net, which has worked out good for us. Yes, the default settings are designed to lower the bar for IT shops to build apps easily. If you know what you're doing, you can avoid the muck and get right to the extensive and powerful

    This is hilarious. Sun is the only company that hasn't figured out a way to make money off Java...this won't work either.

    Hand over those gains to Steve Ballmer instead? I use .net and mssql at work and will admit that the tooling around ms products is superb. However, I really don't know what we pay to deploy on it. A lot more than a mysql deployment I am sur
