Microsoft Vs Non Microsoft for Migration

First of all let me tell you one thing clearly that I am not a fan of Microsoft technology. But when it comes for migration, I feel that it has its own edge over the other technologies. Migration becomes inevitable, whenever we face problems like Maintenance problem, complex architecture, difficult to deploy, Technology obsolete, difficult to find resources, Scalability problems etc. But why .NET not others? People who already into the non-Microsoft technologies but know Microsoft tools can recognize the problem well. It has its own advantages like Distributed system, Smart client with win form as well as thin client with web form, ease of development and deployment, xml web services and richness of the .NET framework.


However, with Microsoft, we have a eternal problem called - LICENSING.
