Business startup - Go with VB.net/MSSQL/IIS or switch to LAMP? Possibly use DB2.

Am starting a serious business and expect this one to succeed and expand greatly.

Am familiar with VB, IIS, MSSQL and Dreamweaver, and run some home and pro bono websites and an email server.

Am inclined to stick to MS products, developing in vb.net for the new business project, but am wondering if I should switch to LAMP (or is it WAMP, nowadays?).

I spend my working days in IBM iSeries (formerly AS/400) environment and am impressed with the security and stability of it, especially the easy secure backups. Am therefore pondering using iSeries as the web server and enforcing its use for all application and business databases.

Any suggestions? Am forcing myself to be thick skinned as I expect a lot of negative feedback on some of the above ideas.

Thanks mucho in advance!
