The first version of PHP was released over a year before the first version of ASP. Heck, there were even M$ developers on the first PHP mailing list that at one point sent out a survey asking the PHP community what they wanted to see in an HTML-embedded scripting language. But sure, PHP will always be the "low cost option". No real way around that being an open source project, and frankly that is a big feature and certainly not a liability. -Rasmus
