Also while it's not free (about $500), Sun has bought Chilisoft ASP and renamed it Java System Active Server Pages which can serve VBScript.

I have had a pretty hard time ever porting ASP/VBScript written for IIS/windows to Chilisoft. Most of the time if you code for Chilisoft It gets the job done fine.
When I started programming I learned Perl, and then quickly moved on to PHP. ~5 years or so ago I got hired at the company I still worked for and we are a Microsoft shop pretty much. I learned VB and ASP and still code in it today.
The biggest difference when it comes to coding is the syntax. PHP is C based, ASP/VBScript is well, VB based. I find it kind of difficult when coding to switch between VB style and C style (JavaScript), so as we progress into the .NET realm I'm going to move on to C# and try to leave VB behind as much as possible.
