RE: IE-monopoly

and i agree PHP is more adequate, it also uses less resources than the overloaded .NET framework

Still I think ASP.Net might have some advantages over PHP, such as full OO, JIT compiling, code-behind, etc, doesn't it? I suppose this pays off some eventual extra cost one might have to put more "server resources" available.

I've used both ASP.net and PHP (as well as Cold Fusion, old ASP and whatever the customers had on their sites) and I would prefer ASP.Net over anything else any day, the productivity I got with .Net is simply amazing. Actually it's the first time in many, _many_ years that I saw something from MS and I thought "Gee this is very good!". ASP + COM was miserable.

But maybe it's just me, I don't wanna "convert" anyone or start flame wars.

About the GridLayout thing: I hope they get rid of it on VS.Net 2005, I'm yet to see anyone who uses that.
