I stopped developing using Microsoft technologies. Why? Any time I wanted to do something which wasn't already part of the sytem I had to shell out money. I recall (awhile back now) even sendimg email via ASP required me to buy some $30 software.

PHP and all its open-source cousins work well together and there's nothing you can't do or accomplish. And I'd stay away from running PHP under Windows. There just seems to be more issues getting Windows to work as nicely as Linux in that regard. Your mileage may vary but I'm sticking with the Penguin.
