PHP is well supported because of Linux which will always be around and
improved. The Windows version is a windfall. Take advantage of it and
dont worry what MS will do. And anyway many people including myself are
using Firefox now. As good as IE if not better and works on all
platforms. PHP is a real developers tool. ASP.NET is an attempt at
insulating you from the real world.
