I'm not surprised. Much of the resistance to SQL Server has nothing to
do with SQL Server but rather Windows and much of it quite rationally.
One factor we routinely see with Oracle is that one can take a single
piece of hardware. First load Oracle on Windows XP SP2 on it and run a
load. Then format the hard disk and perform the exact same test using
RedHat Linux. The difference in scalability and performance is hard to
miss.
