.Net scalabilty

Hello
I just started working in ASP.NET and really liked this. I have also been
working in ASP for last four years.
I placed a proposal in a company for web based ERP solution but i could not
win it.
This project is won by a company who will develop it in PHP. You know
clients sees the low price.
I just wana ask you Either PHP is capable of supporting this sort of
buisness.Ofcourse ASP.NET is :).
Can you please provide me some statistics which compares both .NTE and PHP.
Thank you
Regards

PHP can be scalable enough; Especially v5.0 where the PHP engine is
re-architected.

Scalability or Performance is generally not going to be a primary
determining factor, in all but the most demanding application scenarios.
Instead the real drivers are cost -
development cost
ongoing cost of maintenance

and flexibility - can it connect with what is already in place?

Acqusition cost - the cost of licenses - is also worth considering. But it
is not true that "free" is always lower cost that Windows. The acqusition
cost tends to be low for .NET, in comparison with the labor cost associated
to developing a site. You can get a new Dell server for US$1000,
pre-configured with WS2003 and .NET. In comparison, what sort of website
can you develop for that $$$? And for another comparison, buy a bare Dell
box and load it yourself with Linux and PHP, and various other required
pieces, you have saved the license cost of WS2003, but how much time and
money have you just spent in labor?

With Windows and .NET, we're trying to deliver the best combination of
simplified development, and optimal flexibility to connect, of any platform
on earth.

I started off using php for development and regularly used it for about two
years. When I became enlightened (about 2years now) with .NET and the
structutred and organized dev environment of Visual studio and the frame
work I don't think theirs a comparison at all as far as the speed and cost
effective developement turnaround that .Net offers.

As a side note, I am in the middle of a contract for a enterprise level web
app which unfortunaltley requires PHP and MySql. The speedy development
environment is just not there. Zend Studio, although the best IDE for PHP,
is just not comparable with VS 2003 and MySql is is being accessed through
PhPAdmin web based tool (very painfull).
Now, I'm just a developer but if I was the one forking over the bucks I
would choose .Net.
Besides The largest distributer of Linux, Red Hat, is no longer going to
offer the their kernal as open source in futuer releases.

I know this post is a little old, But does anyone have any thoughts on what
impact Linux will have on Microsoft technologies and its future.
