You clearly haven't seen the number of large enterprise projects switching from C++ to Java in 90s and early 2000-s. Yes, I have seen these failures. What about them? Sure, with well-oiled PR machine you can convince pointy-haired bosses to adopt basically anything and because they can not admit that they goofed up failures are often presented as successes (Elop is undisputed leader here, but he's not the only one). In any case they are mostly about hype: systems written in Cobol, Pascal, dBase and other similar languages are often still used even when bosses think they operate pure Java (or C#) shops. IOW: if anything "the big switch of enterprise to Java and C#" is nothing but smoke and mirrors. PR achievement at best.
