Just a quick thought.
with all the hoopla on .net etc etc what about apache ?
its still the best & most widely used webserver out there
so will there be any web support for that ?
 

It looks like there is a module to run asp.net under apache - obviusly under
Linux you would need Mono too. Unless Apache writes Apache.net... :-)
Another reason why MS moved to .NET - to many competitors in the old Win32
world.
Anyway Borland does not look to support Apache very well: from Apache 2.0.4x
onwards one needs some "unofficial" patch (although from some Borland
developers) to make his apache modules to work.

my main gripe with asp & iis in general is its {*word*99}py security model.
again im not a web developer by any stretch....
i use apache very heavily on unix & sometimes on win32 because i like
its enourmous flexibilty eg mod_rewrite etc etc ;)
the other concern is .net apps seem to "require" ie6 & I'd really like
to
see the web stay an open standard.
currently i use ewf from devex & php for some stuff, im hoping borland will
do the right
thing & support open standards.
 

calling browser - what browser are supported now I do not know.
Of course it was designed for IIS - with all its security holes - you may
switch all of your servers to 2003 hoping it is really more secure (and pay
a lot of money to MS meanwhile). There are and will be attempts to run
asp.net with apache (like there was for asp and isapi) but are "wrappers"
for something that was not born really for that.
"neutral" or "where money is". In the latter case it means M$... <g>
