Jan 14 2002 ____________________________________________________________               C o v e r Y o u r A S P . c o m                  http://CoverYourASP.com/ ____________________________________________________________ I was prompted to post a newsletter a little early this time - my investigation of how to run ASP under Windows XP Home Edition was very popular so I thought I should post it here too. Hopefully some of you will read this before you make the fateful step of purchasing the wrong version of this admittedly awesome OS. I have to say that I love my XP Pro. It may not *do* much more than 2000 Pro, but it sure as hell is nicer to use. ____________________________________________________________                    T H E   C O N T E S T            http://CoverYourASP.com/Contest.asp ____________________________________________________________ No, the contest isn't over yet. Still another week to go. I will be making a change for the next contest though. I will move from bi-weekly to a monthly contest. The main reason for the change? To give more members a chance to take part. Over the course of 2 weeks about 200 members regularly accrue points, and since my recent changes very few reach the maximum 500 points. The main prize is a complete set of components from VisualASP, who were kind enough to again donate their component suite to the lucky winner. I couldn't resist putting my current favorite ASP book in the contest again: "ASP.NET Unleashed" by Stephen Walther.

[1] This wasn't the first time I've been asked, but this time I got a lot closer to the truth, and even spoke to David Berry, a Microsoft MVP, who told me: "Microsoft PWS is officially dead...Microsoft decided to discontinue it in favor of supporting IIS. XP [Home] owners will need to upgrade to XP Pro to use IIS." I find this totally amazing. Users that develop ASP under Windows 95/98/ME and PWS will undoubtedly feel betrayed when they discover that they can no longer run ASP on the much-hyped XP. Of course 2000 or XP Pro is what developers should be developing on, but to cut off the amateur ASP developer seems spiteful and ill-conceived. Worse: I suspect that there is little or no difference between versions of XP - XP Home could easily run IIS if the DLL's were shipped and a couple re-compiled. Maybe even a simple registry change might do it, although that would probably have been found by now! When I started it was a big advantage that I could literally start programming ASP on day 1 with Windows 98. I would not have upgraded to NT just to see how ASP worked. I was comparing ASP, PHP and ColdFusion and a part of my decision came from how quickly and easily I could learn. It seems to me that the balance has now tipped ever-so-slightly.

[1] Scott Mitchell let me know about a more detailed explanation of a workaround. Be aware that I do not recommend doing this lightly!

Everyday I'm in contact with the 200 best ASP developers on the planet. [I bet that'll get me flamed]. Anyway, one of the perks for 40 of the Aces is to be invited to Microsoft in Redmond  for 4 days in March. I was lucky enough to be chosen to go! I get to meet Rob Howard, Scott Guthrie, Susan Warren and all the other members of the ASP.NET team. It will be sooooooo cool. I'll tell you all about it. ;-) Thanks Guys! Speak to you later.
