So I am wondering how many servers they have running all of those sites? And
I wonder if the 20% to 40% error page displaying was before or after the
ASP.NET 2.0 implementation?

The thing I want to be careful of here is that there will be problems on any
platform you deploy to and any language you use - especially when you are
registering 260,000 new users a day (YIKES!). What I more want to know, and
am guessing nobody here can really answer, is how much work (hardware,
software, etc) is required to do this with M$ vs. IBM? We already knew that
if you build a big enough server farm of IIS boxes that it can facilitate
almost any work load, but then how does that compare to the equivalent IBM
implementation.

Interesting the MySpace.com guy said that he can't imagine doing this on any
other platform than Microsoft - makes you wonder how many others he looked
at or if he has only done ColdFusion and ASP.NET 2.0?

inferring that .NET means C#.NET.

What I meant by that statement is that I don't mind C#.NET at all and
actually find it nice to write in (the little I have). I do a fair
amount of Java so C#.NET as a language made me feel comfortable near

immediately.

The part I am not particularly fond of is when somebody takes a
business language like COBOL or RPG, slap .NET on it, compile it to
SIL code, and then call it "the same language you are used to, but
better" (I am not saying you have said this, just what I have heard from

press releases).

And as for Windows being an inferior OS to i5 OS I guess you are
entitled

to your opinion on that one (some may just disagree a tiny little bit)
;-)

Since you called that statement out - do you think Windows isn't
inferior to i5? Remember, we aren't talking development environments
or languages necessarily, but instead the ability to run an enterprise
efficiently for long term.
