I'm starting off with a quotation from "Fast Track Visual Basic .NET" (for 
the final release of .NET v1.0).

In chapter 7 about web capabilities, p. 248 reads "ASP.NET pages can be 
edited directly in a text or HTML editor, and can have script code 
embedded directly in the page using any .NET language supported on the 
execution machine."

What is this quotation referring to as the "execution machine"?  I just 
want to be sure that the statement is referring to the Web server, not the 
client machine/browser...  and that the only .NET framework requirements 
exist on the Web server.  The phrase "execution machine" is ambiguous and, 
depending on the context, could mean either the client machine or the Web 
server.  The paragraph this quotation comes from does not set a clear 
context for what this sentence is referring to.

Thanks for the help.
