Indeed. I'll comment then :) Imagine how much they could pay you if they didnt have to pay the microsoft tax, heftier servers, increased downtime, etc. etc.? OK, I'm sure that windows webservers will ahve a place somewhere, but applications are few and far between, and even then can be half-unix half-microsoft Is it really some imcompetent at the top that thinks "microsoft == good", or "expensive == good". Looking at http://www.unitedsystems.co.uk/, it doesnt seem the most extensive site on earth. Unless they have a massive intranet with Exchange intergration? My only experience in the buisness world has been at tiny companies with no website, or just a few frontpage-type pages on a £10/month host. Are the number of legitimate uses for IIS, access databases, etc much higher in the real world then I seem to believe? -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
