ASP.NET 2.0 and Atlas vs. PHP

Hello,
I'm an ASP newbie and I have been using PHP + MySQL for the longest time. I am intrigued with this new Atlas product and I was just wondering what are some of the things that Atlas + ASP 2.0 can accomplish that PHP is not capable of. Thank you!!!You can think of ASP.NET and PHP as being equal -- both allow you to develop webpages. Atlas is simply a Microsoft framework for AJAX designed to work with ASP.NET. I'm sure there are AJAX components for PHP out there being used since AJAX is nothing but a way to allow client callback features to avoid postback and to add many "fancy" features that allow webpages to behave much like thick-client applications.

Here is a pointer to a few good online videos you might want to check out that shows more about ASP.NET as well as Atlas:http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2006/02/26/439088.aspx

Hope this helps,

Scott
