#2 - High end? Aside from some nice hotspot performance, Java (using J2EE, which I assume you are) gets completely crushed performance wise by a Windows/.NET solution.
In addition, Windows 2000 Datacenter is as scalable as something can be. It also boasts 5 9's of uptime, which is as good or better an uptime as any Unix platform could muster.
Security is key, your correct, but Microsoft is making great strides in that area.
By 2004, .NET will consists of at least 50% of all development. That's my prediction.
