Hey folks, thanks for all the responses to my question. It sounds like it's pretty difficult to try compare the two platforms. I was mostly wondering about general similarities in the process of developing on either platform, rather than the underlying specs. I think I will continue working with ASP.NET in the mean time but am eager to take a closer look at Django somewhere down the line. Has anyone here done any developing with the Bing Maps service? I just saw recently that they have some SDKs for it available to developers.
