List of public ASP.NET Sites for argument

Believe it or not, I need to convince a client why we should be using
ASP.NET instead of ASP! And they're a Microsoft shop...

Anyhow, as a show of "real" evidence, I thought it might be more convincing
to the non-technical managers to be able to rattle of a list of very
large/busy public sites that are using ASP.NET.

A couple of big ones that I am aware of are:
www.microsoft.com
www.dell.com (at least parts of it)
www.hsn.com

Anyone know of any other sites that might give management the warm fuzzies
that using ASP.NET for public sites is "OK"?

Thanks!

I think you're barking up the wrong tree here. What they seem to be asking
for are reasons why they should use ASP.Net instead of ASP. It seems to me
that simply showing them web sites that use it is hardly a reason to use it.
Why don't you give them reasons instead?

Hi Leigh,

Firstly I want to think Kevin and Bill for their great help in this issue.

In addition, I believe that the following information is useful to you.

Why ASP.NET?
http://www.asp.net/whitepaper/whyasp...ndex=0&tabid=1

I hope it helps.

I have... All the right reasons too, but we're talking about folks that are
nervous to try anything new. Their main concern is, what if ASP.NET fails?
Huh??? Our standard is ASP and ASP.NET is too new. They're followers, not
leaders; the only way they'll feel comfortable and be convinced to go
forward with ASP.NET is too see that someone else has been using it
successfully on a public site. They don't care about the facts...

Exactly... The mentality is "don't confuse me with the facts".

Believe me guys, I've sent them all the standard "Why ASP.NET" articles.
First, I don't think they even read them. Second, I've conveyed the
information in those articles to them verbally in meetings.

Like I mentioned in my post to Kevin, the only thing that will "convince"
them, is to see that someone else has done it. They are so so worried that
ASP.NET will fail. Someone put the bug in their little head that they should
be using ASP for public sites because it generates HTML and not ASP.NET
because it's too new... Lordy lord... See what I'm trying to undo?

Success achieved!

We had another "architecture" meeting this morning at which I made my case
for using ASP.NET over classic ASP. Seems like it was a matter of getting
the head architecture guy to tell his underlings that it was "OK" to use
ASP.NET.

Now they're all on board full steam...
