David is right on the money with everything. Especially,
the hook theory. Once the hook is set, it is way too late
(unless you're a master manipulator) to convince otherwise.

Learn as much as you can about .NET as it pertains to
your environment. Arm yourself with knowledge and document
the pro's and cons. Take both sides of the fence, yet show
which way you would prefer to lean.

Like David initially said, the bottom line is what matters.
Where you might have a leg to stand on is where that bottom line
falls in a given time frame.

 Oooh, good thought, but if the question has already been posed, my
 guess is that M$ has a marketing hook in a manager and thus too late
 to go there.
