Not exactly.  ASP (Active Server Pages) is a server-side technology, and 
requires an ASP interpreter running on the server -- either the one bundled 
into the Windows server O/S or a third-party solution (such as Chilisoft) 
that runs on Linux or Unix.

Once the ASP-generated page is downloaded to the client, it's a regular 
X/HTML page that's not operating-system dependent.

ASP pages are most often written with VBscript.  VBscript can also be used 
as a client-side script, and as far as I know can only be interpreted by 
IE.  But that's not ASP.

Cheers,
