1) It doesn't matter ... 2) but seriously, MS stack? I would have serious doubts about whether your friend has what it takes to build a fast moving web startup. At the very least it will limit your ability going forward to hire great web devs, almost none of which want to work with MS products. Best bet, drop your friend, get a sales/marketing guy to be your cofounder.

This has to rank as some of the worst advice I've ever read. I don't use the Microsoft stack, but the idea that a preference for it means that one doesn't have "what it takes to build a fast moving web startup" is fucking ludicrous.
