[ILUG] Hypocrisy?

[Alan]

So the development of the unnamed site is being done for next to nothing and
lets say the person developing the site has never worked with anything other
than ASP and Windows,
So you would  expect the person offering there services to promote Linux in
this way to also go out and learn new programming skills.
This is a business and the decisions are not based on anything but the most
commercially viable options. Which in this case was not to spend time
rebuilding the wheel. maybe some people that only sell Linux hosting are not
making there decisions on anything to do with running a business, but on
some notion that they are better than others.
I do not think that anyone should be forced to hug trees, just because they
sell wood.

What if their hosting company supported both Linux/Unix & Windows, but the
unnamed Linux reseller still opted for Windows?

eg. http://www.fasthost.co.uk/ supports Windows 2003, and Redhat Linux.
