They moved to .NET environment on windoze platforms. Is that movement not more expensive due to licensing? The .NET Framework is free of charge. The IDE from Microsoft is quite expensive (Visual Studio, starting at somewhat about $500 up to $8.000 if I remember correctly). But there are also free alternatives like Sharp Develop, that became a really good IDE. Furthermore many tools for the .NET Framework are freely available (for example NUnit for Unit-Testing). So.... if the movement is more expensive or not depends on the size of the development team and the requirements of the developers.
