Probably because they had limited time, skills and resources (i.e. they live in the real world) so they used what tools they had experience with.
Yeah, they probably did'nt had the skills to find a proper solution in time, but as of resources(i.e. hardware) i think that if they can manage to run IIS, they can manage to run a descent solution, dont get me wrong IIS is notting but a descent solution.
But lets keep it real.. if you can write something like:
set con = server.createobject("ADODB.Connection")
con.Open "Driver={ODBC 3.51 Driver};UID=;PWD=;Exclusive=No;SourceType=DBF;Sour ceDB=C:\Inetpub\blah;Backgroundfetch=No"
or this:
$db = pg_connect("dbname=friends");
would'nt seem harder to me
and for the rest.. well any usefull programmer would pull it out, weither its in php or asp, so it cant really be the skills...nor the ressources.. as for the time... well.. i can setup the Server for it in about 2 hour.
ASP + MS SQL Server would be a win win solution. What they have is an win unix solution;-)
Heh, Funny, I wonder if MS SQL woulda helped in that specific case, I still think an Admin with scalability on is right mind woulda been running php, or some obscure perl script, with pgsql:)

I got the same error message, I wonder what kind of Admin would setup a webserver with asp/mysql, and for a voting pool i mean, you gotta be a Stupid m*f* to think it'll handle a somewhat reasonable workload... why oh why did they not use something descent like *nix/apache with something like postgreSQL, it seems to me like a win win solution.

I wonder if it's anything bigger then this

It's actually less of a chunk.. it's more something like 20k9 3

RSA-1024 with a reward of 100 000$ USD seems to be the best cpu time/reward challenge

Dang that's alot of comments, it sure is a sink hole to read em all, yay for meta moderators.
Heh, and I would add, nice way for google to implement and test a huge load of API's
