We had this discussion before but I am more convinced than ever that most of our applications will be moving to browser based applications... Google knows it, FaceBook knows it and Microsoft knows it but they are playing catch up as they have so much invested, in the desktop. My client's are no longer just happy to sit at one desk and work on their applications. They want to work at home, in different countries, on different computer OSs. Right now, other than going crazy, I am supporting 8 projects, 3 are desktop apps, one of those three is being migrated to ASP.Net, 3 more are hardware installs (2 are potential web servers) and the latest 2 are Web base apps, one being a POS applications. The numbers speak for themselves.

Most web servers run some form of *nix and won't run Webmatrix. -- Stuart On 8 Jul 2010 at 6:42, Jim Lawrence wrote: > Hi Gustav: > > At first blush it looks like an excellent little tool.
