Why do so few large websites run a Microsoft stack?
- by realworldcoder
Off the top of my head, I can think of a handful of large sites which utilize the Microsoft stack
Microsoft.com
Dell
MySpace
PlentyOfFish
StackOverflow
Hotmail, Bing, WindowsLive
However, based on observation, nearly all of the top 500 sites seem to be running other platforms.What are the main reasons there's so little market penetration?
Cost?
Technology Limitations?
Does Microsoft cater to corporate / intranet environments more then public websites?
I'm not looking for market share, but rather large scale adoption of the MS stack.
