.net

Just a quick entry after noticing a small paragraph in the marketing material from a company selling content management systems to schools:
Our open counsel to any school, working with any developer, would be to ask if they are working in .Net. If not, think long and hard about the problems you might be bringing upon yourself.
What gives this company the right to try and alienate anybody reading their marketing material against using anything other than .net? Unfortunately, schools will read this and believe the using a .net language is the only thing to use – this is far from the truth. Looks like we’ll need to do something about this in our forthcoming literature.
This company also doesn’t seem to have got to grips with the use of CSS for layout as their example sites are built in tables and have multiple validation errors. Also, most of these sites have an annoying and tedious flash intro before the homepage is even visible. For a company charging circa. £4000 per month for a website, this is extremely poor in my opinion.
