advantage of J2EE over .NET

Hi all:

i would like to know if someone can actually list a few advantages of J2ee over .NET. and When I say Adavantages..i mean the ones that will stand out on its own....because what happen is that at my work place,....(i work for a small shop btw :) our code was done in J++ , which I think it is a MISTAKE in the first place..and since Microsoft dropped j++, we have to convert too. but because the company doesn't have enough money...we are not going to .NET immediately..so what happen is that I have to convert the code done in j++ to VB6, yeah..you heard me right..VB6 ...that has been a pain..so I would really like to persuade our manager to convert to J2ee ..you know make the right decision NOW..instead of moving to .NET....

so I am bascially collecting pointers now all over the place..until i can present him with a valid case...

any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED...

Another advantage, as a small shop, is that there are free J2EE servers - which means that not only is your development environment available for no cost, but your production environment can be done the same way.

Note: this is based on the fact that there are a large number of free/OSS development tools available, as well as the free/OSS server implementations. This is not to say that said tools and/or servers will meet your needs - only y'all can determine that.
