My understanding is that ASP.net usage is actually on the decline, as far as I know. Not drastically, but... As for Azure, we'll see in a years time. ;) Hopefully Microsoft can avoid embarrassing mistakes like when the entire Azure was down due to someone forgetting to renew an SSL certificate. Microsoft is also known to kill projects at a whim, even if they have an avid userbase. XNA for instance. If they can't seriously compete with Amazon (which I doubt they can), then I can see that happening. Especially if they have a change of leadership, which I am almost certain they will, as they are bleeding left and right. - Hans On 2013-03-21, at 2:00 PM, Salakhetdinov Shamil <mcp2004 at mail.ru> wrote: > Hi Jim -- > > I have changed the subject of this posting to not mix with JC's original one. > > 1.

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. > > -- Shamil > > Четверг, 21 марта 2013, 12:15 -07:00 от "Jim Lawrence" <accessd at shaw.ca>: >> Hi Shamil: >> >> That is why I placed that little "note" after the graph.
