Probably because some businesses are slow to embrace open-source technologies..perhaps they like the fact that you can get some kind of commercial support contract for Microsoft technologies...I have a feeling this will change in the coming years though now IBM are throwing their weight behind PHP. I guess ASP matured before PHP did, so it had a head start too.
