We will be migrating a windows service application and a small windows forms application to Linus 1Q 2011. 

The service reads from many MSMQs and uploads data to a WCF service throughout the day.

Our development vendor is telling us porting to Java is the best solution. 

We are a C# .NET shop, so this means hiring a Java resource; at least temporary to do the migration and then as needed for patches and service packs. 

Is Java the best route to go here? What about C or C++? 

I looked at Mono a few months ago; impressive though it was missing some of the things we needed. Can we use Mono and Java together?
