I would say that in the current economic climate PHP has the potential to start picking up. A LAMP setup is significantly cheaper than an ASP.net setup and can be just as powerful in the right hands.Comment

JSP! (Java)
It's as popular as anything else you can think of when it comes to commercial usage. Don't under estimate how many web based UI's and Intranets are written in this.Comment

How is a LAMP setup significantly cheaper than an ASP.net setup?
Lets say you are choosing your host.
Fasthosts shared hosting on RedHat Linux is the same price as hosting on Windows.
A dedicated server on Fasthosts: A Linux server of the same spec as a Windows server is £10/month cheaper.
If £10 per month is significantly cheaper, it must be a pretty lame business you are planning!

Not to mention a stripped down Linux system running only a command line can run on lower powered hardware whilst providing similar performance. If you are looking for lowest cost open source wins every time!!Comment

The license cost for SQL server, windows server and associated products (ms exchange for email?) are going to run into 10's of thousands of pounds. The equivelent open source offerings are free.
