If you want to talk total cost of ownership, I can wade in here. I work for a sizable organisation 500+ staff and I have spent the last 9 months ripping out all our IIS and asp applications, due mostly in part to the level of maintenance required to keep a farm of IIS boxes running to an acceptable degree of service for mission critical apps. We have now gone to a completely (almost) Linux based production environment and one sys admin can easily keep a dozen Linux boxes ticking over without a problem. The constant patching, restarting, troubleshooting involved with IIS is gone.
CF obviously isn't the only dev platform available for Linux, but the time it takes to get developers up to speed and productive in the Language is most impressive. In addition, all the built in features and compatibilities mentioned by Robin made it our choice.
