Develop your solution/product using - GPL v2 mono.net with MySQL on Linux. Take a look at http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page You get all the three - support, speed and ease of development. Avoid 'Resume driven design' ie. using certain technologies and tools because they look good on resume. Later when you want to sell the same product on Windows, . buy one license of M$-OS . download Visual Studio C# Express edn . compile the stuff . download MS SQL Server epxress edn . test and patch your solution . package the stuff with Wyse installer Go out and sell (this step is platform independent). Hope this helps. thanks Saifi.
