.NET Culture Shock: Why .NET Adoption Lags Among Startups

I'm using .NET ... most of the tools are provided free and the full versions provided free by BizSpark, which I joined for free and now have a 3 year MSDN subscription that entitles me to a load of stuff.

It was only very recently that I stopped running http://www.swfstats.com/ on SQL Server Express.

I think the real difference is it's just not front page news you're doing x with .NET. The web just likes to amplify and exxagerate certain 'accomplishments' ... doing your job in C#, Java, MySQL etc aren't on that list.

BizSpark isn't really free, is it? You have to pay full price once you fail to meet the eligibility requirements.

There's a $100 fee when you finish.
