I've never coded anything for .NET, so I can't speak to that. However,
in all the test my company has ever done, php on Linux/Apache blew the
doors off of .NET on Win2k/IIS when it came to speed.

This person is just wrong here. MySQL is one of the, if not the fastest
RDMS' out there. MSSQL is, well to put it nicely, SLOW. MSSQL has more
features than MySQL (not for long though), but as far as speed goes, not
even Oracle can compete with MySQL, much less MSSQL.

There's no need to defend PHP...it speaks for itself. Not to mention
that with most MS people, it doesn't matter how much fact you show them,
they won't believe it.
