2. Can I make CGI scripts using C#?
3. Can somebody tell me what is SOAP?

No.

I don't see why not, as long as the server is running Windows.

> Can somebody tell me what is SOAP?

A search for SOAP at http://msdn.microsoft.com/search returned the
following:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0300/soap/soap.asp

For now, only Windows 2000.

That's true, but Microsoft has promised that the shipping version will
support Windows 95/98/98SE/ME and Windows 2000 and Windows.NET. They have
also announced support for Windows CE.

There are a TON of C# articles to read at

Yes, since it can generate console apps. You'd probably want to consider,
however, using it as a scripting language within ASP+.

Sorry, I missed that one. Yes, it'll work on NT4 when released.

1. Not until someone writes a compile for those platforms...
