I give up Ed, what did your look entail? Did you knock out an app or three?
Were they win form or web based? Honestly what did you do for an eval?

Is that important, or a desire? I don't really care myself. I have offered
php or .NET to customers over the past 4 years and nobody wanted the PHP.
They wanted the .NET. So I went in that direction.
I find that the volume of components and add ons for the .NET side of things
to be huge. From controls to secondary software for support of your
environment/app/network.
Your heart desires to not do M$ and then you piss on those of us who do.
Some of us don't care past doing a good job for the customer/client.
