J2EE vs .NET : rest of the worlds perspective

Sometimes we forget how the rest of the world (read: non-softwaredevelopers) view our industry. I've been searching for sound platform comparisons related to a paper I'm writing on Software Reengineering with J2EE (and want to show how .NET would be the better alternative).

Sean Jackson wrote this in his article in Banking Technology Magazine:

"For some, the .Net v J2EE web services fight is like Ali v Fraser, for others it's more like McBeal v Crane. Personally, I think it's like trying to work out who would win a game of Gaelic football between the New England Patriots and the New Zealand All Blacks."
