LAMP is better than .NET because I dont need to buy Windows Server licenses to get going. That is a fair statement.

LAMP is better because only losers use stuff from MS. This is the sort of argument that you see alot of on the internet.

A fair statement, but not exactly accurate :)

Even discounting the Mono stuff, there's always BizSpark or one of the cloud many providers that offer Windows/MSSQL hosting at a slightly increased price (essentially renting Windows Server licenses).
