They are very successful at this. I can't find it now but I was reading an article which showed that .NET now owns a massive majority of all new enterprise development. Java has splintered itself into so many frameworks that software shops are moving to .NET for new development in droves for easy of development and well supported framework. Windows is making leaps and bounds in the enterprise solution space as well. We are down to only supporting AIX for two of our customers. All the rest have migrated to Windows servers or have started on Windows from project conception. It's to the point where we are talking less and less about cross platform support.
I personally like the tools Microsoft has provided us Engineers. I work in Eclipse about as much as I do MS VS .NET and I much perfer the MS IDE.
