[Ur] Ur Digest, Vol 9, Issue 3

I don't know what your anwser to do with my question!!! Nice
Advertisement!!!!

Now back to your advertisement!
Unfortunately F# is tightly bound to Microsoft platform which I find very
sad!
It might be a good programming language on that platform but I'm a Unix guy
and mainly use Mac OS X, FreeBSD and Linux.
The statement that your product is much better than ASP.NET and PHP
is no selling point for me!!

Regards
Nik
