Also, ASPX (so ASP.Net) was a vastly superior technology to PHP. It was my first love, and I ditched it for Ruby on Rails, but ASP.Net was really good. Especially when you ran it on Linux using Mono.
The previous post probably should have said classic ASP, not ASPX.
Classic ASP was the more direct competitor to PHP, while ASP.net came along later, as part of a next generation of web server languages/frameworks/platforms.
