Meaning it's less flexible. You never browsed with cookie-warnings on,
did you? Well, I always found it pretty annoying when some web-server
wanted to set me some ASPSESSIONID____-cookie, with no apparent reason.
Just someone who didn't know how to configure his IIS, obviously...

I dunno, but can ASP do GET-Sessions instead of cookies? I would really
recommend using them. Cookies suck.

What ASP does is simple session-handling with cookies. PHP can do
better (cookies + get-fallback or get only).
I have to admit that I don't really know what ASP can do, I just know
that I got a lot of ASPSESSIONID____-cookies without even visiting a
ASP-Page.
