Have you priced RedHat Enterprise edition lately? Last time I
compared
Microsoft, RedHat and Suse, they were all around the same price!!!

ASP is not free, in runs on a proprietary web server which
requires Windows
Y2K or higher. That is not a free sceneario in my mind.

Subject: RE: CF VS .Net?
I've started doing some C# programming and agree that it's a waste of
time to do C# without visual studio. The good thing that I've seen
about C# and .net is that everything is an object. The intelli-
sense in
Visual Studio is awesome. I would love to see Macromedia/Adobe
add that
functionality to DreamWeaver. It would be cool as you code to
know what
methods and properties are available from your CFC.
ColdFusion is hands down easier to develop with IMO. But that
could be
a factor of what you are used to. 8 or 9 years of CF development
versus
2 weeks of C#. Hmmmmm.
The knock on CF is that it's not free like ASP or PHP. Not sure
of what
VisualStudio costs, but that has to be included in the comparison.

I've done two smallish projects in C#, and if you don't use
Visual Studio the amount of code you have to write is HEINOUS.
If you plan to do any amount of .NET development whatsoever, add
Visual Studio licenses to the total cost because writing all that
code by hand is a nightmare. To me that's not a strength of the
Visual Studio tool, it's a weakness of the language. ;-) I just
don't understand why everything other than CF (and some J2EE
servers of course) doesn't manage your datasources so you can
have simple query statements like we have in CF, and that's just
one example. All that extra code adds up quickly.

I've looked into .NET and to me it's like programming cobol. 30*

cool
stuff with it.
