I've been reading up on asp and spent a good 9 hours studying it. I really liked it but felt a bit defeated when I learned plain asp was outdated and I had to move on the ASP.NET. I really liked the sound of asp.net. It sounds really powerful and I was getting ready for another journey when... oh noez! W3C says this is only for Microsoft? I do have Microsoft XP and I know Microsoft dominates the market but 20% of the people on the internet probably use make or linux.
So my question is, does this mean you can only write this if you use Microsoft? Or does this mean you can only view it if you have the Microsoft os? Because I will still use it if other operating systems can see it.
To Rex:
So that means it would be fine for me to program in asp.net because servers run on windows? So if I made a website in asp.net on a windows server then mac computers could view that website regardless?
