ASP.NET and ASP can coexist on one web server. And it's not that platform
specific as you think it is (yes, classic ASP was, but that goes for many
script languages, even today) - since the .NET Framework is built on an ECMA
standard (the CLI - see
http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-335.htm)
you'll easily find your way to Linux and Mac OSX through Mono compatible
projects. Develop in Windows and deploy almost anywhere, I'd say.

To stay on the XSLT 2.0 track, MS will not add any XSLT 2.0 until there is a
stable W3C Rec available - at least that is what I've picked up until now -
so that's why we've started the Saxon.NET effort. Although early and a bit
slow I'd say it is a wonderful step forward.

Cheers,

Hmmm, since i'm not a english native *and* not a MS expert, the "terrific"
here is a good thing or a bad thing? It's "terrific" in the sense of
"terror" or in the sense of "uau!".

Or simply putting it it's   :)    or    :(   ?

Now we're using a IIS with asp on it, but i'll prefer a platform agnostic
thing. The upgrade(?) a "normal" asp to asp.net is straithforward?
