A serious, redundant, scalable n-Tier architected solution can be built using the.NET Framework.
People forget or don't get that ASP.NET is a presentation tier technology (like JSP or PHP) and is just a part of the framework - so therefore why wouldn't I want my presentation tier technologies as near to the user i.e. the web server in the first instance?
Communication and hand off to the mid tier (built using.NET) is achievable via remoting, web services, MSMQ or using enterprise services (COM+ app proxies). That mid tier can both scale out and up as can ASP.NET on the front tier.
Correctly applied, ASP.NET/.NET is as equally capable of being used to architect highly scalable n-tier environments as is the case with JSP/J2EE.

I think you'll find that ASP.NET runs out of process from IIS. And you can configure IIS to run classic ASP inproc or out of process.
IIS isn't an app server and never was intended to be. Depending on the mapping of an extension it hands off to the relevant ISAPI extension.
MTS/COM+ Services is where the app server is at.
And so what if it runs out of the box...?
.NET doens't do n.tier properly either
I kinda think you need to get your facts straight. How about a concrete example?
You're buying into the Microsoft delusion that the web server itself should support application level functionality
So which part of IIS is an application server pray tell? I think you're at the deluded end of the stick my friend.
