Tom,

The trouble is, if I switched to PHP is I'd have one foot in Windows and the other in Unix/Linux. I have used Unix/Linux for periods several times over the years. Always reminded me of DOS, even after the GUIs became avaiable. I realize this is a very personal thing, but for me I find I am much more productive and comfortable in Windows. BTW, does PHP have a graphical forms design tool, or would I be coding in PHP/HTML with a text editor?

Microsft has had windows specific stuff for long before .NET - ASP for
instance.

Like I said, there is ASP.NET support on Linux and Apache via the mono
project, but I don't think it's likely that your hosting provider supports it
:)


My hosting service does offer Windows servers, so maybe I should ask
them to move my account over to one.

That, or learn PHP :)
