So do I. Fortunately, I can do that with CF just as easily as with ASP. Both work through IIS, and CF can use other web servers as well, such as Apache. > I have no interest in debating whether or not it's 'fair' > that ASP is free.

There are lots of free CGI engines, in addition to ASP, which isn't really "free" anyway - you have to buy Windows! For learning CF, you might just use the free single-user Developer Edition of CF, which provides all of the functionality of CF Enterprise Edition, but can only be accessed by a single user. Obviously, you couldn't use this for deployed applications on a "real" web server, but it's great for working on your laptop.
