I like Java better.
I have been developing, maintaining large scales applications from a Canadian provencial Health for four years. There lots of thing make me wonder how.Net deal with it.
Plant form. We have to deal applications that writen for the whole country. If it is a.Net app, we will have to install a MS server and install it. Fortunatly that app is a J2EE application. It is not hard to deploy it to WebSphere.
Development environment. We are not stucked on one tool, one OS.
Open source packages. We do reports by using jasperReport. It used to be Cognos. Bloody expensive and the solution is way to heavy and it made one app have to crose two type of plant form. We also have a bunch of mainframe application need to be available on the internet. We used an open source 3270 simulater to do the screen scraping.
As other said, it depends on your teams experience on Java and.Net, the requirements. If all the above items do not matter to your project, the decision will be easy to make.
I was tired with all different Linux distributions,
then I swithed to FreeBSD, and I like it more then
Linux. If you have the time I would suggest you
give it a try as while.

Today, I decide to get me a mp3 player, and the only thing I can think of is WinAMP on windows. Way to go WinAMP.
How much are they going to cost?
