Re: ASP.NET and IIS

IIS= Idiotic Information Server.....

Could be worse Coca Colas new My Rewards site as of last week ONLY runs in
IE7!!!!

believe me I tried many verions of Opera, Netscape, Firefox and IE because a
friend of ours was unable to get to. Since its a COMPLETE flash site I told
him I'd try at work and see if it was just his dial up connection speed, lo
and behold NO.. No error messages nothing in ANYTHING just sat there about
50% complete with the "L o a d i n g" message UNTIL I used IE7 and it workdd
fine. Did the same at home (over dial up) and same results. Tried 5
different computers and NO go in anything but IE7.

IMEO ANYONE who would put any even semi-critical mission app on ANYTHING MS
is just asking for trouble.........

What's really scary about this if you're Microsoft is that, assuming
Guthrie
was correct at the time and five out of six of those sites were either
running ASP.NET on IIS or moving towards it, then the fact that three of
the
four non-Microsoft sites don't use IIS (or in most cases, Windows) means
the
trend is definitely moving away from Microsoft.

MSN, MySpace and Hotmail all use IIS. Well, duh, MSN and Hotmail had
better
use IIS! The only non-Microsoft site on the list is MySpace: a wildly
successful system that started in someone's garage running, of all things,
Coldfusion. It's also, from what I read, not particularly stable, but
that's hearsay.

This is fact: the real business sites -- Google, Yahoo and eBay -- all use
something other than IIS, and in fact eBay is the only site of those three
even using Windows at all for their web serving according to Netcraft.

Throw in sites like MapQuest, C/NET, SourceForge, Wall Street Journal
(which
runs on IBM HTTP Server!), Wikipedia and Travelocity, none of which use
IIS.

Interestingly enough, Expedia DOES use IIS: version 5!
