I want to thank everyone for their comments, they are very useful and will help me state my point. I did take the time last weekend to sit in on a demonstration of building an asp.net mvc application. Overall I was impressed with Microsoft pointing it's self in the right direction of web development.
With that said I still think Microsoft has a long way to travel to catch up with Rails (especally because it is a moving target), plus it needs to be accepted by the masses for them to keep it around. I am seeing interest in it from the Microsoft developer community but many of them when they hear there is no viewstate they are immediately turned off. I see this as a win because the viewstate I.M.O. is not needed. Again this discussion has helped me clarify my own thoughts and back them. The number of responses also show the involvement of the community to help one another not just with code but situations we will run into in the real world.
