Big data isn't even analogous to enterprise. I don't even think if Google, Twitter and Facebook should be considered to be classically enterprise. However, what you say about big data is certainly true - that's not something .Net is competent at: keep in mind that doesn't make it wholly incompetent. The corollary is true: .Net does things some things really well that Java is dreadful at (e.g. last time I played with Java the UI situation was a complete joke).

That doesn't make either language/runtime bad or better than the other. Their strengths aren't static, either. They are merely different tools suited for different tasks. Both have some extremely large names using them.
