To some extent, but I also feel that's changing (as I'm planning to do.)

Or, if you qualify for MS's charity pricing structure, you can be an all
MS shop and still not pay serious cash.

I'm going to be changing my own web dev SOHO from ASP to PHP, and then
working on doing the same conversion at work. I've always built
intranets on MSSQL with ASP and lots of IE-specific code. I'd like to
move away from that as much as possible. I'm no longer totally
comfortable with IE, especially after playing with FireFox a bit.
