I made a decision last year that I was going to divorce myself from MS. I did some research and ended up using PHP for my web stuff. I still don't have a good solution for desktop app but I really don't have any demand for a desktop app at the moment. I really like PHP and I use Postgres as the DB. I like it better than MySql especially since Oracle bought MySql.
