Objective, highlevel .NET benefits analysis needed

[Keith A. Rowe]

I have been developing apps on many different platforms for 25 years. I am
most excited about working with .NET for all the reasons you might expect:

- better OOP implementation (inheritance, etc.)
- improved productivity
- improved performance

and all the stuff a developer would appreciate. I must now sell this
platform to a CIO without spewing MS marketing materials. Where can I
locate a high-level analysis, one that an executive could understand? MS
materials are a good start, but I would like to quote other sources in the
public domain.

Many thanks,

Keith
