"Anyway, in your earlier reply you brought up the comparison to LAMP vs. WAMP. LAMP still handles about 3x or greater processing web requests on similar setups. So that's part of the competitive issue for M$ as well. LAMP is cheaper and faster."

Wrong. IIS6 is just as fast as Apache. Replace the A in "WAMP" with IIS (lol, that would be "WIMP") and you'll have a platform that is equal to apache performance wise. Repalce the M with a different M (MSSQL) and you have a more robust DB server that can offload some of the processing power that normally would have to be handled at the scripting level.

For small and/or low budget projects, *AMP is a no brainer, but for larger budget projects there are many good platforms (Microsoft included) that can do the job.
