I must have spent my entire time between 2004-2008 working for companies that did that sort of thing (rewrite to .Net). Plenty of cash to burn with no real possibility of success and no business plan. In two cases, the guys running it knew it was going to fail from day one and their business model was to do this in two year chunks, syphon the cash out of the VCs after talking the product up, live the high life and disappear for a bit. I felt no shame working for them back then but I do now.
