We share your sentiment! We are a large-scale startup built entirely on the MSFT stack, in Azure cloud, for the MSFT platform.

People on HN don't often talk about it, but it does happen, and apparently quite a bit judging by our users :)

Yeah, the Microsoft stack plays well with startups (and enterprises too, obviously).

Everybody here seems to preach that "if you want to be in the startup scene you have GOT to get a MacBook and write Rails apps!" though.
