I had a feeling this would come :). As I said, I am just forwarding this for anyone interested. However, I assure you that there are people who have knowledge in more than one platform. Besides, when it comes to web apps, at several occasions knowledgeable people changed the minds of the employer. Also, business is business and FOSS is not always a political/ideological issue but more of an inspiration/aspiration. I am sure the a good programmer could show the problems with the microsoft architecture and the merits of a FOSS architecture. As you probably noticed, most employers aim high because they don't always know what they need but I don't think it should deter anyone.
