.NET applications suck my cock and i would never actually signup to anything which actually used it.

A global registry which spans multiple sites is just giving M$ more of a foothole in taking over our lifes and to better profile us.

ASP will run on windows/unix machines but it runs natively on NT and the Unix versions have been known to be buggy and riddled exploitable security holes, just like the FrontPage Extensions for Unix.

PHP was originally designed on a unix machine and later on started to get ported to windows. You dont need apache to run PHP on a winidows machine as IIS will do a fine job.

The other thing is that you, depending on your os, can write programs to do crontabs and shit like thatl much in the same way you could use perl to do many automated jobs on your *ix machine.

Whether PHP is better than ASP or ASP is better than PHP, that all depends on who you ask. If you want the ability to pack up your code and move to a different server, any server, i would go with PHP since it runs on (with more stability) just about every OS out there.
