It's true that MS no longer develops ASP. It's been a 'dead' technology for 
a few years now. But given that it's built into IIS, it's not like is has 
dissappeared.

MS now pushes ASP.net

Well, the demand for ASP folks will certainly diminish quite a bit over the 
next few years.

PHP will be closer to ASP in methodology that will ASP.net.
