Hrm... Tomcat side:
1) $$$
2) If there are bugs, more $$$ for support instead of just being able to
fix the darn things.
3) Tomcat has a HUGE/ACTIVE user community. You can actually get help
from the people who write this stuff.
4) The dev tools are free too (eclipse/netbeans/jedit/etc)
5) You don't need a training class to learn the ins and outs of the app
(more $$$ to MS)
6) Pretty darn easy to find a java programmer. Just advertise to this
list and you will get one that likes tomcat too. :)
7) Bugs, Esp bugs that allow evil doers in are fixed IMMEDIATELY! You
won't have to wait for M$ to get around to realeasing a fix 2 months
after it is reported or telling you that you need to buy the next
version to fix that problem.
8) Free upgrades.
MS Side:
1) if your org has deep pockets they have phone support standing by.
2) Really easy to make a simple app using the wizards. Click through
programming.
3) Another nice item for your resume when your company goes under
because they spent a significant percentage of their income on the .NET
system.
