I would like to see some articles that said they were going from .NET to CF as well but it is always the other way around. I do a lot of work for a worldwide company that has over 80k employees and their standard was ColdFusion with Oracle since sometime around the year 2000. They are in the process of changing their standard to SharePoint and when that can not do it then ASP.NET. I think they are retaining Oracle although pretty certain the SharePoint cluster is using MSSQL. I personally never see people going to ColdFusion but routinely see people leaving it.
