Hi, I have just started studying C# and will soon begin ASP.NET. The only thing I'm afraid by taking this route is what I might be missing from LAMP servers if I'm bound to IIS (because of ASP). I have noticed that Ruby is the only thing lacking in my webhost's Windows server package, when compared to the Linux counterpart. My question is: why would they not offer Ruby?

Sorry to ask it here, but this has been a nagging question for me within the last days and I'm guessing this book's subject has something to do with my question. I'd be very interested in buying it in the future indeed, I think Ruby looks wonderful.
