It’s off topic, but as a Java guy I do envy your less chaotic and more polished world of C#. In the perfect world all languages and paradigms could intermix and we could be emancipated from all this “religion”. Perhaps the subject of another entry!? /Casper

Thanks for your restraint In all honesty, I think the fault lies on my hosting provider’s shoulders rather than Microsoft’s. I don’t know all the details, but it seems that a web host should have hot backups available for their servers – be they Linux or Windows. But to a different point, I wish I had used WordPress when I started this blog instead of Community Server. WordPress has more features, better skins, and is all around a better blogging eninge than CS. But being a .NET developer I thought I might want to write custom code for it which would be much easier with CS (although I do know PHP). The reality, unfortunately, is that I never have time to add features to this thing, so that whole point is moot. If I could do it over I’d use WordPress, but not because of the Windows/Linux debate – it’s just better software. Rob

I know its potential trolling, but when I see your website down I really want to make a Windows vs. Linux in the server environment comment. Let’s just leave it at that
