What data are you basing this statement on? I'm genuinely curious because the vast majority of indicators I've seen clearly show that Java is by far the #1 enterprise language. Greenfield projects are probably far more likely to choose .Net but for now, there is a hell of a lot more important legacy Java code that will never be practical to port.

I believe that C#/F# are the future of managed enterprise languages (Roslyn, CoreCLR/FX, and quite soon RyuJIT are far superior to Java equivalents, imo) but I highly doubt their adoption is anywhere near Java.

Decades of combined experience between me and about a dozen of my developer friends working in F50 companies. Java is definitely common as well, but .NET has an advantage because of Windows, Office, Exchange, Sharepoint, Active Directory and more, along with the ecosystem of C#/VB with Visual Studio for development and SQL Server for database needs with all of its analytics and reporting services.
