I'd mix cheap hosting in with that. It's ridiculously easy to find
good, cheap LAMP hosting.
Rick Strahl made that point too - in the section titled Barriers of Entry. ASP.NET needs extra beefy hardware, licensed software from Microsoft, and additional administrative support. ISPs pass those costs along to customers.
Microsoft has such overwhelming resources, that when Bill Gates or his SEC submissions would speak of free and open-source software being a threat, I would just pass it off as hyperbole, to justify their protective maneuvers in the market. But maybe there's something to it. It's as if open-source proponents keep innovating and donating in spite of Microsoft's maneuvers in the market - with FOSS coming across as more Microsoft loathing - since there's not much economic basis for it.
