: PHP for sure, both on *nix and Win/IIS
: Python maybe as well, as it might become a popular language, is open
: source and multiplatform as well as PHP.

: If your clients do have Win/IIS, then ASP.Net will probably be your best
: bet going forward.

If this is to run on Win/IIS, then ASP.Net beats PHP and Python hands down.
If you need it to run on other platforms, or via other webservers, then it's
a different proposition.

There are more full time ASP.Net developers out there working on internal
websites than PHP developers, so more companies will have "in-house" support
expertise. ASP.Net has a far better programming environment, and developer
tools than, say, Python...

Sorry, I just have to laugh when someone says "we should develop out Win/IIS
application using Python"
