-Wiki and sourceforge are both with an open source mentality, so they want to stay away from MS.
-Facebook is as slow as they come, I would not include them in an argument for large scale PHP.
-Youtube is made in a variety of different languages if I recall
-What makes you think photobucket is made in php? I could find no evidence to state so.
There is a difference between sites like that (which are web only) and enterprise businesses that major in real life things and only have a web development department. These internet only sites don't need the support that MS offers because they have enough developers to make low level changes. On the other hand, there are large scale companies (Nasdaq as one of them) who are based away from web development but have a department to handle it. They would rather leave certain things to a company rather than making their web developers sort them out. It is a much better solution for non-web only companies, which is the vast majority of large companies.
The thing that separates these web only sites and most enterprise businesses is that large companies handle complicated tasks at high volume while many internet only sites handle relatively simple tasks at a higher volume (with exceptions such as facebook which is slow). I'm also willing to bet that a lot of the sites complex functions are written in C/++ and implemented in PHP.

Woa now, I am just in this for money; MS solutions are more lucrative. Keep in mind that I do not carry an open source mentality, I do web dev to put food on the table and I will do an MS language if it means more money. If large companies went back to CGI, I would be there.

I guess, but the topic was about comparing PHP.
