For higher traffic sites, .net has still a long way to go. Most of the .net problems are with Windows OS not being as reliable as Unix & Linux Servers. .Net is beautiful for its simplicity in lot of ways. Framework 3.0 is simply beautiful. Microsoft should open up. Should release run-time for Unix/Linux. It could make whole lot of money if it embraces Linux. MS Linux sounds sweet to me.

Overall the people seem a little less snarky... for example, if a newbie has a very basic question, people are more willing to answer it instead of telling them to search first. And yeah... getting a complex .NET app on Mono can be a challenge. That's one area I wish Microsoft would address. I realize they don't want to cannibalize their Windows Servers sales, but still, wouldn't spreading .NET and .NET tools like Visual Studio help offset that? *** @Dave: Thanks for the support :) Just a note, but our software is actually install-on-your-own-server software. We thought about SaaS, but in the end, realized that most companies would prefer to host their own data. *** @Siraj: I can't wait for those as well!! @Ashish: The resources and community for .NET is one of the things I like the most about it.

Best of luck to you guys. It’s great to see a SaaS startup like this on the .NET platform. Best of luck to you guys.

I enjoyed all the platoforms. .NET is a bit special because this platforms provides great resources like libraries, excellent tools (Visual Studio) and itegrated environment (IIS, SQL Server, Office development, MS CRM, MS Sharepoint, Biztalk). All these things makes its first choice for projects starting form small desktop utilities to large enterprise products. Again it depends on requirement. its not easy to run complex .NET application on linux box even using Mono. I worked on Java, LAMP and .NET.

Someone might say ASP.NET ViewState slows down the page load time, but that argument is false in its assumption in my personal opinion. In comparison to many other implementations which use session state or other approaches, I like viewstate much better as long as you don't abuse it. That's the key. Hope that helps. Jish,

is there any issue in performance?
meaning a web site built on .NET vs anything that you experts mention, will it have the same performance to load, to retrieve, to post etc?

I remember telling my friends (mainly Java and PHP developers) that I was choosing .NET and they all just stood their in silence. The sad thing is none of them have even used .NET and yet they still bash it... oh well, they don't know what they're missing! Hi AJ,

I get this argument all the time because I am running the Microsoft side of a business that for years was exclusively Oracle,Java,Linux,Unix,etc...I can definitely say from programming all the way up from a TSR-80 Model III..yes the trash 80. I have programmed in just about everything under the sun and came into the Microsoft realm in college and never looked back. There are definitely 'cool' MS tech folks out there...contrary to Dave's belief....we just don't like to brag about it:0) Cheers, AJ Liming Xu,
