I don't know about planning, but as of last week, none of the web servers 
indexed in Libweb was running IIS 6.0, which I understand to the be the 
.NET web server.

I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that Apache 2 matches IIS performance 
on Windows, without the history of security gaps (I hear that IIS 6 has 
addressed security more responsibly than previous releases, but that isn't 
saying too much).

I wonder if product names like .NET and C# were chosen by some anti-MS 
subversive to make them essentially unsearchable.
