IMO  the two BIG advantages of  .NET pages have over other systems is:

1.They do away with scripting and interpreted pages. In fact the first time
the pages run (by the developer) they are compiled to a dll. on the server.
This makes for extreamly fast exececution, and is particualarly useful for
OLAP applications.

2. The second advantage is that state is maintained on the client side, not
by a cookie, but by a value in a hidden input element passed to the page.
This means that if a server in a server farm passes off handling the page to
another server state is not lost (as it is in most systems).

There are other advantages, but these are the big two the way I see it.
