To some companies this duality could be quite valuable. Some
would say that you have to go J2EE all the way if you want
platform independent clients (especially if those "clients"
are customers).
However some organizations may (internally) value the
multi-language capabilty of .NET because they like to use
the right tool for the job (imagine that).

In that case it is much more likely that they would deploy
Java rich clients consuming WSI Web Services written in
ASP.NET to achieve platform independence on the client,
rather than requiring the installation of Mono. Not that
everybody on such a Java team would have to know both worlds
- but having one or some that do would help.
