OK to clarify, Irrelevant if you're doing a consumer based web startup.

If you're doing B2B or corporate stuff, then sure, you have to deal with that rubbish along with everything else.

You're so wrong. And even if you weren't wrong,writing off the huge B2B market is pretty silly.

In any event, MySpace and PlentyOfFish both run off of .NET

So the largest dating site in the world, and the second largest social network. I'd say that's pretty relevant.
