Not sure if it is 'marketing info' or what - but in my experience, in most
shops, the 'push' to go .NET comes predominately from the developers
themselves. The younger the developer - the greater the push. (Which is
perhaps as it should be. <g>)

I agree with everything you had to say including this paragraph with one
slight difference.
What fascinates me when you go into these shops that are making the
transition (with exception of those developing Web Services or other Web)
and ask them why? You get a laundry list of reasons that below the surface
of new 'speak' - don't really have that much to do with .NET technologies.
No one seems to be getting 'pushed' as much as they are all moving forward,
because it is there.
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward....
