[dba-VS] [AccessD] LightSwitch

[Stuart McLachlan]

One of the many reasons I'm very reluctant to adopt new MS technologies.  :(

dotVVM and Serenity  are yet more systems that rely on MS Servers and .Net.

I host websites on both *nix and MS servers.  Invariably the MS sites use far more resources 
(processing, storage and bandwidth) than similar sites running on Apache/MySQL/PHP.
