I think you missed the point by a few miles - I suspect Chetan was

ironically

implying that it is very unlikely that lastminute gets more traffic than

those guys,

therefore pointint to lastminute as an example of how ASP can't handle high

traffic sites is a fallacy. Maybe you should have read the whole message

after all.


 >>ASP is used by buy.com, nasdaq.com, microsoft.com, msn.com. So what

 >>lastminute.com gets more traffic than those guys.


Probably meant to use a question mark?


 >hotmail.com as well


Hotmail does not use ASP (except possibly on the <10% of its servers now

running NT). They are having a long and difficult process of switching to

their

new owner's dogfood.
