What's also every so awesome about .NET (from the windows side) is you can write C# code, and if you need to, use DLL exports to do anything in the windows environment.
I can see nothing but a propagation of the security problems that have plagued Microsoft. I have been able to talk all of my clients into moving to *NIX hosting platforms that use apache server software. Since then, NOT ONE has been plagued with down time due to the exploitation of IIS security holes. Allowing DLL exports in a web application to interact with the users Windows OS is just asking for more trouble than Microsoft can handle.

In case you can't tell, I'm no fan of Windows hosting platforms, and especially IIS server software.
