I might be missing something here...
... but would the end result of the .NET version be truly browser-independent?
I'm sure that someone who knows the answer will post it, but I'm tired of having the "Windows experience" of finding that a Web site bombs out to a page filled with "I'm .ASP/SQL Server and I'm broken because it's all too hard to cater for anything other than IE" when I'm trying to buy/book/query something on an MS-driven site.
Don't these online vendors get it in relation to just how much trade they lose because their buggy IE-only sites fall over when faced with anything different?
