CAPEX is the key.
I have fond memories of offering an x86+tomcat+mysql solution to clients competing with other solutions based on Sparc+iPlanet+Oracle. The offer was so low compared with previous ones, that some customers ask for confirmation.
This CAPEX was also mirrored in the development workstations. No need to have Sun based hardware, a commodity PC was enough to develop without surprises when deploying.
