I agree with the MSFT bet (.NET is such a heavy toolset), but I think the Los Angeles argument is also interesting.

Does starting a successful company depend on having a geographical talent base, heavily grouped together?

.NET is such a heavy toolset

What does that mean, specifically? I've found it is a great stack, and the biggest problem it has is public perception :)

Is it heavier than Java? People have run some pretty big and busy sites on Java fine (iTunes store, for example).

What do you mean by "heavy toolset"? There's too many already-written tools and utilities?
