What does "switching to PHP" mean exactly? Are you talking about an
intranet application or the product that your company produces?

I think you'll have a hard time finding any big business using PHP for
their mission critical systems. The best thing about using something
from Microsoft is that if things go wrong, you can always pin the blame
on Microsoft. With open source you're stuck with it. As much as I like
PHP I would never recommend it for projects where the stakes are high.
