Too bad. Do they give valid reasons or just "because it's bad?" I'd guess
they are jumping on the "MS is bad" bandwagon w/o doing their homework. They
probably believe that running Linux will protect them from all viruses and
hacks too, no? <G>

Like all software, it has it's problems and bugs. But for the most part is
easy to learn, well supported (by MS and the internet community), easy to
learn and powerful.

Unfortunately, I and many of my clients will not install or run IIS.  If IIS
is required for ASP to be really useful, then ASP is not an option.  That's
too bad, because some of it seems to be pretty nice.
