I was shocked to get an email today morning from my close buddy, now can be called as a free lancer.
He informed me that he had said a life long "goodbye" to Microsoft platform for ever, since he was constantly losing more money on hosting charges and some times even had to pay from his own pocket to survive.
He informed me that he shall be working with Open Source Languages now onwards, and he did not regret a bit to leave Microsoft career for ever. He was keen to survive today, rather than be remembered as an .Net developer tomorrow. He used to be a C# Genius, and have been working on big projects.

Goes triple for Java hosts

No kidding... MS hosting means a smaller choice of hosts (because most hosts focus on Linux), but it's not always more expensive. Prices are the same as Linux hosting on 1&1, for example.
Where do you go for inexpensive Java hosting, though? I got a VPS, eventually; pickings are slim for capable & reasonably-priced shared hosting.
Oddly, now the more experimental hosts are including RoR, though that's generally much trickier to scale than J2EE. It's probably issues of memory usage and just large-scale management, though. The issues of deploying "support" for a technology at a large scale are quite different from the issues of supporting a single large-scale application.
