Show me an app that you think that you believe can't be developed as quickly in a LAMP environment as could be developed using a Microsoft solution. I know what I am talking about because I started my career developing Microsoft solutions and have kept up with the gist of it. If you want to talk about desktop apps... I will agree that Microsoft has the best developer tools... but we are talking about web based solutions and not desktop solutions.
First 12 years of my carrier I spent developing software in SmallTalk. NasDaq still runs the same order routing software I worked on.

The next 8 years I worked on large adult projects all in C#. The Pay Per Min engine that runs in AEBN, Gamelink, XonDemand etc etc...all most all the large VOD guys is done in C# (I should know because i wrote it).

When it comes to complex apps I will stick to what i know best , which is C#
