I don't agree.

There are solutions out there that are just as good, if not better than ASP.

Perl, PHP, Python, REXX just to name a few. All are free, all come with 
excellent support. They are all also cross-platform compatible. ASP is 
not, it is a solution from a single vendor for a single platform.

Xitami is ran on many more platforms than just Windows. If we are going 
to discuss solutions that we want to apply to all, then let ASP die.

I would highly suspect that using ASP.DLL in conjunction with any other 
product besides IIS violates the licensing agreement that Microsoft 
implicitly makes you agree to when you install IIS.
