I put less faith in any organisation when I see it runs on .net (.aspx
pages). For one thing, it means that for any site handling any real
loads, they probably need 10 times the number of webservers for a
start, this means they probably need 10 times the number of admins...
so they're probably charging 10 times the RRP.
In the case of the beeb, hell, I dont want to pay 10 times the TV
licence. Leave it on Apache.
One of the regular attendees at the SCLUG meetings is a technical guru
at the beeb, working mainly on streaming protocols I believe. I hope he
has a lot of influence there with the direction of the server software,
sadly it's normally a middle management fuckup that destroys things.
