Not that I'm a MS apologist, but have a few comparisons between ASP and
ColdFusion. An obvious advantage to using ASP is that it is free with
IIS which is free with Windows.

A disadvantage (vs ColdFusion) is that the errors it throws are
gibberish compared to ColdFusion's, which usually do everything short
of rewrite the code for you.

A disadvantage vs (ColdFusion) is that it's harder to learn and (seems)
a lot harder to master.
