Q:

MVC vs ASP Classic

I've been given the task of designing the architecture of a new web based trading system. 
I see Scott Gu is hot on the task of pushing out MVC releases, but the more i look at them the less difference I see with Classic ASP.
Due to the availability of classic ASP programmers, I'm contemplating using this instead of paying top dollar to programmers which will then need to upskill. Business users just want html output, and they both do that (Classic ASP doesn't have the Script Manager payload, and JQuery integrates with classic.)
Anyone else faced this decision, and any thoughts to pros and cons?
Thanks

A:

Honestly I'd say learn more about ASP.NET MVC if you see Classic ASP and MVC as similar beasts. I suppose both have these guys <% %>... I do not miss VB6, MTS and regsvr32.
If business is only concerned with html output, many other platforms also meet this requirement. Why not PHP, cgi, Rails or Django?
Compared with modern technologies, Classic ASP is asking for pain.
