Sorry, but this is silly. The Real Answer: Use whatever you're 
most comfortable with.  Network World's increasingly a Unix 
shop, and the person we hired as a webmaster has a Unix 
background, so guess what sort of server we're using for our 
Web site? He knows Perl, he's comfortable with it and he 
doesn't consider it a Major Catastrophe he can't build apps via 
connect-the-dot GUIs. If we were an NT shop, we probably 
would've done things differently, but we're not.
