[AccessD] OT: C#/ASP.NET - Was - Re[2]: Math equations

 Hi Jim --

I have changed the subject of this posting to not mix with JC's original one.

1. ASP.NET is hosted on so many ISP sites worldwide and the hosting prices are comparable with non-Windows hostings so C# is a real general purpose language for 10+ years now.
2. I'd expect Windows Azure will be one of the main competitors on "cloud" market for many years to come.
3. I have heard Nginx is great but I'd expect MS will (soon) make IIS comparable with it (in min. memory footprint, (unlimited) multi-threading for certain apps, scalability etc.) - e.g. in VS2012 you can run IIS instance even within console application.

Thank you.
