Given that you live in a Windows only world your defense of the one
and only operating system SQL Server runs on seems a bit disingenuous.
Oracle runs on 19 separate operating systems and I routinely work with
Windows, several flavors of Linux, Solaris, HP/UX, and AIX. It matters
to an Oracle architect which o/s is used ... you, on the other hand,
have a choice of Windows or Windows. Congratulations on being able to
make that choice. Which vendor ... oh lets use Microsoft. What should
we benchmark it against? Microsoft again. And the winner is ... drum
roll please ... Microsoft Windows.

The ears aren't deaf? Every once in awhile we need a good laugh.
Disclaimer: I am sending this email from a Windows machine and have ton
of Microsoft products here at the U. Heck I used to teach in Mary Gates
Hall and now teach in the Paul Allen Computing Center. But give the
hyperbole a break every once in awhile. There are other competent companies.
