Pat,
When using the FP extensions, make sure you're pretty tight with your web users NTFS permissions, or else you can be in trouble!
Also, I have to say that IMO IIS is NOT a bad web server and ASP(.net) is not a bad server side technology... just it's not cheap..
Anyone using IIS in a hosting environment would probably benifit from installing URLScan from Microsoft (it's free)... URLScan checks incoming requests for misformed syntax, buffer overrruns, etc.

.net is supposed to be very good but I've not had chance to investigate yet. What I don't like about ASP are the little inconsistencies and the fact that you have to rely heavily on 3rd party software for anything useful (we do a lot of image maipulation and have had to wirte our own DLLs to deal with what we need to do, whereas PHP has graphics libraries such ImageMagick available for free).
Oh and I really HATE VBScript, with an absolute passion! JScript is a massive amount better and its OOP abilities are very good - that IMO is where PHP falls down.
