My guess is that you'll need to express this in terms a manager can
understand: the bottom line.
Try:
IF we do this then we face:
* maintenace costs (more/less/same) than norm
* retraining costs (</>/=) than norm
* client compatability costs ....
You won't 'win an argument' with a manager on technical grounds of
'coolness' or 'developed by the redmondites'. If you can't make it
seem reasonable to a manager based on the bottom line, my guess is
that it's time to learn .NET.
YMMV.
