  • Don't you think this is really awful, NOT being able to run ASP.NET on Server core but being able to run PHP and MySQL? I guess you will at some time be able to run Mono on it ...

    I know many people have already complained about this, but it is really awful.

  • Hi Brian -

    We're working with the .NET team to get it on Server Core. No ETA yet, but we will get it there.

  • Yes, i absolutely agree that Server Core should be able to host .Net apps.

    The other point that we make here is that PHP users have an additional choice as a hosting platform. So you can embrace PHP on a Windows platform.

    An additional choice, with a low footprint, secure and yet easy to manage.
