God, this guy continually proves his ignorance. It's true that classic ASP
is all but dead. It has been for years. But come on.
I love this:
"To me, it’s always been diabolical; to do something as simple as say,
turning a bit of text from lower case to upper case, which only requires
one command in PHP, requires writing a function in ASP. "
Wrong. Standard VBScript funciton, UCase.

Also:
"For example, they pulled the plug on Visual Foxpro; considering it’s a 32
bit, single threading application, that may not have been a bad idea.
Still, it is dislocating; but so long as “progress” is achived in
Microsoft’s eyes, they don’t seem to care."
Foxpro isn't dead, in fact they just released a new community technology
preview of the latest beta in June.

AND they released a roadmap for where Foxpro is going.

This guy really doesn't know crap about what he talks about.
